I know we're not at the end of summer yet, but I was interested in great exhibition/fairs. The Canadian National Exhibition happens at the end of August and represents and celebrates Canada in its festival of food, fun, agriculture, cars, sports, and just all kinds of stuff.
There is a bigger state fair. The biggest state fair is Texas with 2.25 million visitors, then Minnesota with 2 million, then the Big E - Eastern States Exposition held in Massachusetts with 1.5 million, the Great New York State Fair at 1.2 million visitors. So the CNE would squeeze in there ahead of the New York State Fair with its approximately 1.5 million visitors.
Its location is 100 Princes' Blvd. and it is interesting that the street has a "possessive" name. The grand structure of the Princes' Gates was opened in 1927 - to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation and the visit of the Prince of Wales who later became King Edwards VIII, and his brother Prince George who was the Duke of Kent.
I don't remember ever taking a picture of the Princes' Gates. It is such a busy spot - it would be a "drive-by shoot". Here's a glorious gate on the grounds of the Guild of All Arts.
