The Regina Exhibition Association, branded currently under its corporate sponsor, Evraz Place, was established in 1884 as the Assiniboia Agricultural Association. The organization’s first fall fair brought together 150 community-minded individuals to exchange goods, information, and experiences. The two-day event was held near today’s Victoria Park and came just two years before the coming of the railway. Today, the Regina Exhibition Association brings over 137 years of history, fun and learning to the Regina community in continuing with its tradition and more.
