The PNE Fair kicks off Saturday with plenty of traditional favourites and a host of new attractions.
Now in its 113th year, the summer fair returns with a full slate of nighttime concerts including TLC and Boyz II Men on opening weekend, all the familiar rides such as the restored wooden roller-coaster, dozens of food kiosks — more on some of the crazy new flavours will be announced soon — the marketplace, shows like duelling pianos and high-divers, and the historic heart of the PNE, the agricultural events.
