Since the first Pacific National Exhibition opened in 1910, the annual fair has been a draw for people from all over B.C. and beyond.

First called ‘The Industrial Exhibition’ The Fair at the PNE continues to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.

We wanted to take a look at the PNE over the years, and would love for you to share your memories with us in the comments.
