Metro Vancouver’s end-of-summer tradition, the PNE Fair, is back from Aug. 17 to Sept. 2 (closed Aug. 19 and 26)!

Experience the eclectic mix of fair food options. Watch the SuperDogs, the drag show For the Love of Drag, cooking demonstrations, musical performances on the Festival Park Stage, exhibits, and — of course — Summer Night Concerts! Experience hair-rising rides at Playland, win giant stuffies at the midway games, check out the agriculture displays, and so much more.

Plus, TransLink’s back at the PNE Fair! Stop by our showcase, located just inside the red gate at the corner of Renfrew and Hastings Street.
