A collapsible canopy frame includes a plurality of side poles, and a plurality of scissor assemblies for coupling the side poles to one another. The collapsible canopy frame also includes a center support pole, which includes an outer pole having an upper end and a lower end, and an inner pole slidable within the outer pole. The inner pole has an upper end that can extend upwardly from the outer pole and a lower end that can extend downwardly from the outer pole. A plurality of center scissor assemblies are provided for coupling the plurality of scissor assemblies to the center support pole. A fixing bracket fixed to the lower end of the outer pole has a central opening around the inner pole and a side opening. A locking pin is disposed at least partly in the side opening of the fixing bracket, and is used for fixedly coupling the inner pole to the fixing bracket.
