About

It’s a huge milestone year for Cape Breton’s original summer tradition as 2026 marks 110 years of celebrating our agricultural heritage and community at the Cape Breton Exhibition. For more than a century, the Exhibition has been a destination for friends, neighbours, and visitors from across North America. This year’s Exhibition takes place over four jam-packed, fun-filled days featuring Horse Shows, Rodeo, Livestock exhibits, local vendors, amusements and games, and more. East Coast Amusements will be bringing carnival rides and, of course, the outdoor entertainment stage will showcase some of Cape Breton’s finest entertainers. There’s something for everyone at the Cape Breton Exhibition!
