PNE Fair Programming for Summer 2026
The PNE unveiled its 2026 Fair programming today for BC’s largest and longest-standing ticketed event returning August 22 to September 7, 2026. The site will be very busy with FIFA Fan Festival earlier in the summer and the Fair will return right on time with old favourites and new highlights.
New This Year
The PNE is introducing a new Any Day Ticket, launching today. Priced at $30, the ticket allows visitors to attend the Fair on any one day of their choice during the 15-day run. Guests will also have the option to purchase a limited-quantity Any Day Thrill Ride Pass add-on for $40, available exclusively with the purchase of an Any Day Ticket, providing an affordable way to experience the Fair’s rides at a reduced rate. Season Passes are also now on sale, offering the best value for those looking to enjoy the Fair all summer long.
