The Fair at the PNE kicks off this Saturday, and it鈥檚 jam-packed with everything from BMX riders to jousting knights and all your favourite bands.
The Action Sports World Tour will be featured at the Pacific Coliseum for the fair鈥檚 118th year.
The world鈥檚 best skateboarders and BMX riders from the X Games will perform at the stadium every day at 4:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
If tricks aren鈥檛 your thing, maybe medieval adventure is.
North America鈥檚 biggest jousting stars are coming to the PNE with the Knights of Valour, a 鈥渢hrilling spectacle that is performed by one-of-a-kind masters of horsemanship and features unchoreographed illustrations of medieval warfare that was worthy of the attention of kings and queens worldwide.鈥�
The 鈥渕ust-see鈥� show will bring 25 years of jousting expertise to the Agrodome for daily shows at 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.
If science is more your thing, check out POPnology, an exhibit on how technology has been influenced by movies, books, television, art and futurists.
Fans can see the DeLorean Time Machine, HAL 9000, the world鈥檚 first 3D-printed car, robot displays featuring the industrial robot Baxter, and more. The exhibit runs from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the PNE Rollerland building.
If it鈥檚 history that gets you going, check out the Street of Dreams exhibit that takes you down Vintage Lane to see refurbished timeless classics and hot rods in Camshaft Court. Then, wander over to Lifted Lane, which will contrast the low-and-slow at the Scraping Pavement Pullout.
Classic American muscle cars will be on display in the Three Second Stretch, right by the two-wheeled chrome at Pipes Place.
The exhibition runs from 11 a.m. - 11 p.m. daily and is free with admission to the Fair.
