CNE - A Day in the Park

Lots of fun shows to take in. For shopping the International marketplace and the Arts, Crafts and Hobby Building are strong favourites. And, of course, no visit is complete without several forays into the Food Building, although I sort of miss the preponderance of pure junk food back in the day.

Molson Amphitheater - Blue Rodeo

A real pleasure, the opportunity to enjoy both the powerful voice of Matt Anderson, and a home town favourite band. The crowd welcomed Matt in the opening act and he did not disappoint. But the crowd didn't need warming up for Blue Rodeo, they were clearly devout fans - everybody knew the words. Great solos, awesome vocals and showmanship, a fabulous band. A great summer venue and terrific family outing.

CNE - Bon Voyage! Aerial Acrobatics & Ice Skating Show

A very well choreographed mix of skating and acrobatics, this show should be on your essential list for your CNE visit. Featuring Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir this is a classy show. There were some amazing performances from the other skaters and the acrobats were also awesome.

Mirvish - Oh Canada: What a Feeling !

Tracing Canadian rock/pop artists from 1964 to 1991, it felt like a trip down memory lane. With an accomplished band, some awesome guitar solos and amazing vocalists, particularly Amy Bishop channeling KD Lang, you will recognize all of these memorable hits.

Fern - Aug 1-9

The land of rolls and honey. A Ferntastic family place, with great food and lots of things to do for everyone. Best part - the kids will spend all day with new friends, leaving you to relax and refresh. Then you all get to enjoy a wonderful family dinner and "night out" as there is a family show to attend every evening. And the best show is put on by the staff themselves. Highly recommended and even more fun if you can convince some friends to go with you.
