It’s finally here, the Canadian National Exhibition opens today.

The largest annual fair in Canada features more than two weeks of parades, live concerts, amusement park rides, and a variety of food.

Some of the ridiculous food items to get your hands on are garlic snow crab fries, bacon wrapped grilled cheese, and red velvet oreos, all deep fried, of course.

Gates open at 10 this morning at the Exhibition Place, and will wrap up on labour day, September 7.
