Vancouver’s Fall Home Show Returns with Culinary Stars and Trends

The Vancouver Fall Home Show is returning at the end of this month, an annual event that’s been held since 1983.

Over 35,000 people are anticipated to attend this four-day home extravaganza that features inspirational décor displays, workshops, expert celebrity speakers, and over 300 booths for finding out about services and products that will make your home even better.

This year, the Lilydale Cooking Stage promises to be a huge draw with a full roster of prominent members of the local food and drink scene.

 

From October 24-27, 2019, the Vancouver Fall Home Show will be taking place at the Vancouver Convention Centre-West Building. It’s always a fun event, with plenty to do and see, including the HGTV Canada Main Stage with celebrity speakers (e.g. Sabrina Smelko of the show Save My Reno); Ask the Experts panel discussions (e.g. Design/Build Process: Strategies to build your dream home); DIY workshops (e.g. making your own wood signs); a Portobello West Market with local artisan vendors (e.g. BAM Woodworks); and of course, tons of exhibitors featuring all sorts of home-related services and products, such as windows and screens.
