The Spring Cottage Life show turns 30 this year! Come celebrate with us at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ont., from Thursday, March 20th to Sunday, March 23rd. With more than 500 exhibitors from across Canada and stage presentations featuring special guest speakers, it’s our most highly anticipated event of the year. We’ve put together a list of products by some of our favourite show exhibitors that we’re most excited about this year. Although you can shop these products online, it’s always easier (and usually cheaper) to get them at the show. Don’t have your tickets yet? You can get them here.
Plus, Cottage Life magazine subscribers are invited to our inaugural VIP Day on March 20th, where they’ll get exclusive discounts on Cottage Life merchandise, free drink tickets, free gift bags, and more. Not a subscriber yet? You can sign up for a subscription here. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
