Vancouver Fall Home Show

The Vancouver Fall Home Show is the place to be for anyone looking to renovate or upgrade their home. The event runs marketplace-style inside the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Exhibitors at the Home Show offer products and services related to home projects. The show features both local and international vendors who often offer special prices or show-exclusive deals.

 

Where and When

The Vancouver Convention Centre is in the Coal Harbour area of downtown Vancouver. The building’s large glass front is an iconic part of the Vancouver Harbour waterfront. Next door to the Convention Centre (about a block away) is Canada Place which is home to the city’s cruise ship terminal and the FlyOver Canada tourist attraction.

On the Friday the hours were from 12:00 pm until 9:00 pm, on the Saturday from 10:00 am until 9:00 pm, and on the Sunday the show was on from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm.
