CNE opens today
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
I go every year. I like the ice skating show, food building, buskers and the International Stage shows.
Go for the airshow that's it.
It's just an over crowded flea market inside the buildings.

The flea market takeover of so many of the previously free attractions kind of ruined it for me many years ago. But when the weather is hot it is a total ass parade at The Ex, no denying that.
LOL, do you remember this one: "Do you wanna go faster ? !!"
The women can't wait to parade their asses for the ex...
And the men are there for all of it...
last Sunday was ass fest at the goo goo dolls concert...defintely ass parade. great concert too...Johnny is 59 years old and still can rock it...full of energy and the ladies are all gushing...

Here’s the list of the new foods to try in CNE this year 
:
:As others have commented - it is a great people watching venue with a bit of the variety of a tired old fair thrown in.
We used to go every year, but now our kids are young adults.
Wife and I went a few years ago.
And at end of a long tired day decided it no longer was an every year event for us.

Several years ago I was lucky to be at the CNE on Hot Asian Girl Day. The place was crawling with beautiful young Asian women.
Went once in 2016 and it wasn't as good as it used to be. They halved the size of the grounds, no free food samples and those samples were like full out meals, a few less rides, less games.
80s/90s CNE was a thing, it was massive, insanely busy, so much going on, you almost couldn't experience it all in one day.
It's a different vibe, it's good if you're a kid or a teenager, but that's it.

Went today for the first time since 1995 (30 years!), remembered some of the rides. So some respects it came across as a giant flea-market, or somewhat like the old basement of the Dixie Outlet Mall (remember Don the CD/DVD guy?)
I haven’t been since 2015. I used to go most years for the airshow. I vividly remember the RAF Nimrod crashing into Lake Ontario in 1995. You could hear a pin drop immediately afterwards. Most people including myself couldn’t believe what just happened.
How was your experience after not being to the CNE in 30 years?
I remember going there when I was a kid but things are so different from back then I can only imagine what it was like 30 years ago
Last time I went there was back in the 70's. Got as far as the first beer garden through the gates. I fondly remember watching a fight. Some big Ontario farm boy beat up 5 bouncers who were trying to eject him for no reason. He became an instant hero to me.
I’ve always loved the Ex, the late summer sun, the breeze smelling like the beginning of the fall, the junky food etc.
The last time I went I had a bunch of girls join me, casually as friends, they all flashed the crowd from the ferris wheel, enough times that we were asked to leave.
Happy memories
