Wellness Shows & Health-Related Trade Shows
Health and wellness shows are events where you can learn about nutrition, holistic medicine, personal fitness, sleep remedies and everything related to health and wellbeing. At the events you might find vitamin companies, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and people selling everything from energy crystals to anti-aging creams, nutritional supplements, beauty products and cures to all kinds of ailments.
Depending on the event, you might meet experts in counselling services, skincare, yoga, behavior issues, care services for seniors, mental health, drug abuse and life coaching. You might also find exercise equipment, massage tools, gym memberships, and a wide range of other products and services.
Further below in this article you’ll find information about the Westcoast Wellness Show, the Wellness Show, and the Vancouver Health Show. They are all two-day events that take place at different times of the year.
Westcoast Wellness Show
The Westcoast Wellness Show calls itself “the Fraser Valley’s premier wellness event”, but people attend it from all over the Lower Mainland. The show focuses on physical, mental and social wellness. There are dozens of exhibitor booths to visit, as well as multiple guest speakers to learn from.
The show took place at the TRADEX Centre last year, but it’s at a different location in 2023. This year, the Westcoast Wellness Show takes place at the Coast Cascades Hotel & Convention Centre in Langley. It’s a nice venue. The event runs on the Friday and Saturday of May 12th and 13th this year.
Hours at the event in May on the Friday are from 1:00 to 6:00 pm. There’s also a special VIP event for moms from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. The VIP Night for Moms is for anyone wanting to attend and spoil themselves. It’s also a fun way to kick off the Mother’s Day weekend. The Westcoast Wellness Show continues on the Saturday from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm.
General admission in 2023 costs $10 each day, with $5 discounts available for students and seniors. Tickets for the VIP evening, on the other hand, are only available online and cost about $30 each.
With the VIP Night for Moms on the Friday evening, attendees receive swag bags and chances to win prizes including a pair of diamond earrings!
