A summer tradition for close to 140 years is back for another.
The Queen City Ex presented by SaskTel will run from August 2 to August 6 this year and will once again see a partnership with the Regina Food Bank with the return of an eating competition and world champion Joey Chestnut, the QCX ticket giveaway for Rider fans, a jam-packed concert lineup, new rides, and old favourites.
This year’s event will also see the Pile o’ Bones Rodeo, presented by 620 CKRM, return on August 4 and 5.
“We are thrilled to announce the return of the Queen City Ex for 2023,” said Tim Reid, President and CEO of Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL). “This year’s fair promises to be a truly unforgettable experience, with new and exciting attractions that will delight visitors of all ages. We are also thrilled to announce all the free and reduced-cost ways families can attend. Accessibility to the Fair is at the core of our community goals.”
