Vancouver's Pacific National Exhibition is an urban harvest fair. It has
been held annually since 1910. Since then it has evolved from a small
gathering on the outskirts of the city to one of the largest events of
its kind in North America.

The word "fair," according to Webster's New Collegiate dictionary,
derives from the Italian "feria," meaning holidays. It goes on to define
it in part as a gathering of buyers and sellers at a particular place
and time for trade.
