Quick Facts
About NS Provincial Exhibition
The Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition in Bible Hill was the province's flagship agricultural exhibition, featuring agricultural displays, livestock competitions, harness racing, a midway, and live entertainment. Held at the exhibition grounds just outside Truro, it was a highlight of the late-summer fair calendar in central Nova Scotia.
The 2026 exhibition showcased the best of Nova Scotia agriculture, with prize cattle, sheep, and poultry competitions, home-craft and horticulture exhibits, and a packed entertainment schedule. Live harness racing at the Truro Raceway is a longstanding tradition that draws fans from across the Maritimes, while the midway offered rides and games for all ages.
Bible Hill sits in the heart of the Northumberland Shore region, a short drive from Truro's downtown and within easy reach of the area's warm-water beaches and scenic river valleys. The provincial exhibition has long been a fixture of Nova Scotia's agricultural season, and the 2026 edition continued that tradition for tens of thousands of visitors.
