For 75 years, The EX has been the backdrop for countless memories – from first dates and engagements to unforgettable wedding photos. Now, in anticipation of our new wedding and event centre opening in fall 2026 (The Gallery), we’re taking the celebration one step further with Marriage on the Midway. On June 13, 2026, one lucky couple will say “I do” surrounded by loved ones, strangers, joyful energy, and the magic of the midway.

Ashley & Justin

WHEN: Saturday, June 13, 2026 at 2:00 pm
WHERE: Right in the heart of The EX midway! A special area will be set up and decorated for the celebration.

Congratulations to Ashley & Justin! We can’t wait to see you say “I do” at The EX 2026!
