About this Event

Located along the Toronto waterfront, Exhibition Place is a destination for conventions, events and entertainment as well as home to the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). From a diverse range of concerts at the Bandshell to annual exhibitions at the International Building, the CNE has promoted art and culture from around the world each summer for almost 150 years. Over the past few decades, Exhibition Place has continued this tradition as host to many cultural celebrations, such as the CHIN Picnic, Toronto Caribbean Carnival and Khalsa Day Parade. This tour showcases highlights from these celebrations, performances and exhibits as well as a globally inspired collection of public art. Before the world gathers at Toronto Stadium at Exhibition Place this June for the FIFA World Cup 2026, explore the site’s history of celebrating global cultures and our city’s diversity.
