Motorcycle Show at Tradex in Abbotsford
The Motorcycle Show is an event that usually features all kinds of motorcycles including BMWs, Harley-Davidsons, Hondas, Kawasakis, Suzukis and Yamahas. Other brands you’ll likely find are Argo, Royal Enfield, Ducati, Piaggio and Polaris.
What to Expect
At the Vancouver Motorcycle Show you can expect to see crowds of people, hundreds of shiny motorbikes and all kinds of motorcycle gear including protective leather clothing and Harley Davidson souvenirs. Expect it to be noisy at times too, plus lots of fun (assuming you like motorbikes).
In addition to all the vendors and motorbike displays, there are also training sessions and stunt shows some years.
As of the beginning of January 2025, there wasn’t a lot of information on the event’s official website about what was happening at the show in Abbotsford this year, including the list of exhibitors and performers (if any). In past years there have been stunt performances. This may or may not have been the case again this year.
When and Where
The event took place on January 17th, 18th and 19th in 2025. Dates for the 2026 showing will likely be around this same time. Details are to be confirmed, though. The event is traditionally held at the Abbotsford Tradex Centre which is located at 1190 Cornell Street (beside the Abbotsford Airport).

Tips & Advice
Below are some tips to help you make the most of your experience at the Vancouver Motorcycle Show.
TIP #1: Parking is usually free for motorbikes during the show, but about $10 for vehicles. If you take your car and only plan to be there for a couple of hours, it’s cheaper to park next door at the airport. At the airport head to the hourly parking section. The spaces there are actually closer to the Tradex building than ones at the far end of the actual Tradex parking lot.
TIP #2: So long as you get your hand stamped when you leave, after paying admission you can usually come and go as much as you like all day.
TIP #3: Especially if taking kids, be sure to time your visit with the stunt shows in years that they happen.
