Tourism & Attractions

No single location in Vancouver captures the spirit and history of this city, its people and its many achievements as the Pacific National Exhibition. For the past 97 years, millions of guests have enjoyed shows, exhibits, sporting events, amusement rides, concerts, cultural activities and, of course, the annual summer Fair at the PNE. Today, the PNE is the largest employer of youth in British Columbia, the longest running and best attended annual ticketed event in BC and the site of hundreds of famous events - from a live performance from the Beatles to the historic Miracle Mile. For the past nine decades the Pacific National Exhibition has showcased the best of Vancouver to the rest of Canada and the world.

Hastings Park and the Fair grounds consist of two arenas that host various events throughout the year. As the largest building within the Hastings Park/PNE complex, the Pacific Coliseum serves as a year-round venue for diverse events such as ice shows, boxing, basketball, hockey, concerts, large assemblies, and trade and consumer shows. It is currently home to the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League. The Agrodome features an ice surface for minor hockey and figure skating events during the winter months. For the remainder of the year, the Agrodome plays host to a variety of events including professional tennis, boxing, wrestling, special events and flat shows.
