Vancouver’s favourite summer tradition is back. The 2025 PNE Fair officially kicks off Saturday, August 16, and it’s bringing 15 days of food, rides, live music, and unbeatable deals to Hastings Park. Opening weekend comes with one of the best discounts of the year — just $7 admission whether you buy online or at the gate on August 16 & 17.
The first two days also celebrate Jersey Weekend, so dust off your favourite team gear and wear it with pride. Encore Rewards members score even bigger — free admission for themselves and one guest on Saturday with a valid membership card and ID, good from 11 am to 9 pm.

Beyond the rides and Midway games, the opening day also launches the Summer Night Concerts series with Counting Crows on stage. From there, the Fair is packed with deals every week, from 4-for-2 tickets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (code: FAIRTW) to buy-one-get-one Fridays for TransLink riders. Night owls can get 50% off admission between 8 pm and 9 pm every night.
The PNE is also rolling out a full roster of special events, including Armed Forces Day, the Fair Unlocked scavenger hunt, the Tatus Festival celebrating Indigenous music and art, and Skilled Trades Day. Whether you’re here for the rides, the concerts, or just to crush a bag of mini donuts, the opening weekend is the perfect time to dive in.
