TORONTO- Toronto ends the summer with a bang at their annual Canadian National Exhibition.

For those who were not in Toronto for some of its celebrations, you can still experience the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). Check out these videos to experience the event.  

The Canadian National Exhibition ran from Aug 16 to Sept 2, 2019, to celebrate the end of the summer.

Near the CNE's Kids' World is a booth called "Feed Live Butterflies" operated by Lucy's Butterfly Farm employee, Brayden Estrabrooks. Families, children, and people walking by could enter the butterfly tent for free and watch monarch butterflies eat and fly around.


"Legends of the Silk Road Come to the Light!" is an Indoor Lantern Festival was held in a new location in the Coca-Cola Coliseum. The news release revealed that 50 artists created illuminated silk sculptures for the event. 

National Geographic's 50 Greatest Photographs Photography Exhibition was displayed in Toronto at the Arts, Crafts & Hobbies Pavilion at the CNE in 2019. According to the CNE news release, the CNE hosted the only Canadian stop and the Canadian premiere of the traveling exhibition showcase.

Through the summer might be coming to an end, the CNE left its guest with memories to carry with them until next year.
