Naval craft, air shelters, and a large parade will accompany sports, music, and fireworks. The event aims to outshine all prior exhibitions with a grand war oriented program while preserving agriculture and industry displays. The fair spans two weeks, sits on 350 acres near Lake Ontario, and attracts about 2 million visitors yearly.
