It wouldnā€™t be the PNE without exciting entertainment, and things are heating up with the TNT Dunk Squad. The crew has thrilled audiences around the globe for nearly 20 years with trampoline aerial stunts, adrenaline-pumping theatrics, and rim-rattling dunks!

Music in the Park

Sit back and enjoy live music every night at the PNE Fair on the Freedom Mobile Stage at Festival Park. There’s something for all music fans, from rock with Whitehorse, country with Tim & The Glory Boys, party tunes with Queer As Funk, Top 40 hits with Scott Helmen, and more.

You can even be part of the magic when CHOIR! CHOIR! CHOIR! leads its participatory show.

One of the most popular places to see at the fair is the agricultural area and the adorable array of barnyard animals, educational exhibits, and more. This year in the barns, you can cheer on the free pig races, try your hand at archery, or ride a pony at an extra cost.
