While this year’s Pacific National Exhibition is cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, it doesn’t mean we can’t get a taste of the PNE.

Fair Food is one of the biggest draws to visitors to The Fair, alongside the Playland rides, nightly concerts, pig races and Super Dogs. A Taste of the PNE is an initiative supporting the hundreds of local, family-owned small businesses who make up the concessionaires and exhibitors seen throughout the grounds each year.
A Taste of the PNE – Car-B-Q – comes just in time for Father’s Day to treat Dad this weekend June 18th – 21st, 2020, 11am-3pm and 4-8pm.
HELD OVER FOR A SECOND WEEK: due to popular demand the PNE is extending Car-B-Q to another weekend June 27 – 28, 2020.
Following on from the extremely popular Mini-Donut launch edition, this second drive-thru experience featuring options for a mouth-watering BBQ meal, plus a classic & custom car show, presented by 360 Fabrication!
For this event you can build your own meal package, choosing from pork ribs from Prairie BBQ OR Gator BBQ, poutine from The Fry Guys / UnRoutine Poutine, macaroni & cheese from REEL Mac and Cheese, and Coca Cola bottled drinks.
