September 23, 2025

The 5th annual BC Outdoors Show returns to Chilliwack Heritage Park March 13 to 15, 2026. This is the biggest outdoor show in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland and features a mix of vendors featuring boats, watercraft, outboards, sporting goods, outfitters, fishing gear, camping, travel and overall outdoor recreation. This is a highly anticipated opportunity for dealers, distributors and companies to market their goods and services to thousands of enthusiasts of all ages.

By leveraging the wide clientele and loyal audience that spans the show’s partners at OP Media Group and Outdoor Group Media, including BC Outdoors, Outdoor Canada, Pacific Yachting and Sportsman Channel, the BC Outdoors Show successfully markets to their core audiences who have a passion for adventure on land and water. They feature industry experts, TV personalities, key speakers and retailers across Western Canada.

“Our goal was to bring community and fun back to trade shows,” says Mike Mitchell, Show Director, editor of BC Outdoors and host of BC Outdoors Sport Fishing TV. “We go above and beyond to make sure our clients have a successful event and customers get what they are looking for in the businesses and services we feature.”

 “As our show continues to grow and evolve, we have seen a constant rise in attendance and exhibitors, “says Mitchell. “Our team has put their heart and soul into making this an amazing experience for all.”

Located at the iconic Chilliwack Heritage Park building in Chilliwack, BC, the BC Outdoors Show fills three halls, covering 100,000 square feet of attractions. Some of the coveted events include a speaker series, demos, beverage lounge, family zone, door prizes and 100 plus interactive vendors.

“Swellfish has had an amazing time at the BC Outdoor Show, which is one of our favorite events to attend, “Says Kristofer Varga, Co-Owner of Swellfish Outdoor Equipment. “We’ve been a vendor since the very first year, and we’re always impressed by the enthusiastic team that continues to grow and improve the show.”

“River Wrangler has been a part of the BC Outdoors Show since year one and every year we look forward to the show and reuniting with the staff and other exhibitors,” says Brandyn Desjarlais of River Wrangler Sportfishing. “We appreciate the way the show brings together like minded people in our outdoor community.”
