The CNE's new experience, "Dinner in the Sky," is seen in this file photo. (CNE) The CNE is back in Toronto and this year guests can indulge in a truly elevated dining experience. Dubbed 'Dinner in the Sky,' the Ex is offering diners a chance to eat 150-feet in the air. The dinner table, suspended by a crane, can hold as many as 22 strapped-in guests at one time, all of whom will be treated to 360-degree-views of the CNE midway while being treated to dishes from a 'Chef's Table.' 'The CNE is the first-ever festival in Canada to offer Dinner in the Sky, a concept and tourism attraction that has been hugely popular in cities such as Dubai, Tokyo, and Punta Cana,' the CNE said.

Create Account Well, of course, starting this Friday, all will be on offer as the Princes' Gates swing wide open to usher in the 146th edition of the CNE, which runs until Sept. 1. CEO Mark Holland on Monday kicked off this year's edition inside the Princes' Gates with a flying acrobat behind him from Evolution: An Aerial Balloon show and was surrounded by a trio drag queens who will host bawdy brunch and lunchtime shows this Sunday. The annual fair will also feature the 76th annual Canadian International Air Show and nightly musical acts like July Talk, Shawn Desman, Dean Brody, The Commodores, Chantal Kreviazuk, Loverboy, The Trans-Canada Highwaymen, and others. Those looking to sample the wacky goodies can zoom across the fair grounds — pass a massive ferris wheel and other wild rides and games of chance — and just follow their noses to the legendary Food Building.

Peggy, from Craig's Cookies, was more than pleased to highlight their show stopper — the $7 Chicken Nugget Cookie, complete with BBQ dipping sauce. 'Craig's Cookies always does an amazing job and you wouldn't imagine putting a chicken nugget in a cookie,' said Holland. 'But man, is it delicious.' After saying that, he was handed The Bacone — a spicy Habanero Bacon Cotton Candy treat topped off with an all-Canadian butter tart. 'Oh wow, take a look at this,' said Holland, who used both hands to eat it. Awok shows off one of the offerings at this yearthe $55 two-foot hotdog with all the fixing on Wednesday August 13, 2025. Jack Boland/Toronto Sun/Postmedia Network And if hotdogs are your thing, there is the $55 two-foot offering — good for a family of four — and the $22 Maki Sushi Corn Dog served with spicy mayo and soy glaze. And last but not least, no trip to the Exhibition would be complete without visiting the Tiny Tom Donuts trailer for a bag of the freshly made mini-donuts. There's a new flavour this year: Raspberry waffle. Justin Yayros, who has been working at Tiny Tom Donuts for the past 11 years, said the tasty treats are as 'iconic' to the CNE now as they were when the operation started in 1959. 'It's a family tradition. People come up and say, 'You know what? I've been having these since I was a kid. And now I just want to share it with the rest of the family,'' said Yayros.
