This year’s PNE runs from August 18 — September 3, 2018.
The PNE fair has gone from strength to strength over the years and now attracts almost 1-million visitors every year. It stays true to its trade show route, and exhibits the latest developments in technology and showcases local agriculture. Various species of livestock are on display, and there’s an annual Pacific Spirit Horse Show. The fair also plays host to and promotes locally made products, and has a marketplace with over 150 stalls.
Entertainment is now a large part of the fair, with the focus more towards a fun family day out. Playland is still open not only during the fair but for the whole summer season from April through to September. There’s also an arcade and an extensive list of funfair game booths. Live entertainment is an integral part of the event, with everything on show including music, comedy, dog agility, and jousting knights.
The Pacific National Exhibition has expanded and changed extensively over the years. However, it still stays true to its origins of showcasing innovation while providing a fun day out for the family. The venue may have been developed since the first fair back in 1910 but the PNE fair hasn’t moved for over 100 years, and it has no plans to stop any time soon.
