The Red River Exhibition (or the Ex for short) is a mobile amusement fair hosted every summer, usually in late June, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, at the Assiniboia Downs race tracks. The park is operated by the Red River Exhibition Association, a not-for-profit organization.

The Ex was started in 1952 at the Osborne Stadium/Amphitheatre complex near the Manitoba Legislative Building. It later moved to the Polo Park Race Track and then to the Winnipeg Stadium, Winnipeg Arena, and Winnipeg Velodrome facilities.

In 1997, it moved to its present location. The total amount of land owned at the Assiniboia Downs site is convert|480|acre|km2. Red River Exhibition Park was built as a multi purpose facility on only 90 of those acres leaving almost convert|400|acre|km2 for future growth and expansion.
