The annual exhibition got off to a slow start on its first weekend when Toronto was walloped by a major rainstorm.
But the CNE says it saw 450,000 visitors over the long weekend, calling it one of the highest weekend attendances in recent years.
The event features midway rides, exhibitions and unique food offerings.
It ran from Aug. 16 through to Sept. 2.
