Coming to the Cottage…Life Show? Discover Expert Advice, DIY Ideas and Hands-On Experiences to Get Ready for Cottage Season
The Spring Cottage Life Show brings together more than 500 trusted brands and industry experts, including Canada’s leading authorities in cottage real estate, design, wildlife, and fire safety. Visitors can shop exclusive pre-seasoned deals on the latest boats, docks, water toys, furniture, and gardening inspiration, alongside handcrafted décor from local Canadian artisans. Tickets are on sale now at cottagelife.com/shows.
New this year, visitors can try their hand at catch-and-release in a live fishing pond, witness the expert precision of chainsaw sculpting and enjoy daily live performances from Cottage Country Concerts’ musicians. The scaly and crawly creatures of cottage country are back by popular demand, offering families a closer connection with nature. Pet owners can also pick up essential safety tips for their furry friends, from navigating wildlife encounters and heatwaves to boat and firework safety.
Live talks include Christian Dare, sharing style, design and DIY tips; Pattie Lovett-Reid with practical financial tips on sustaining life at the cottage; Chef Jo Lusted presenting the latest recipes; cottage lawyer Peter Lillico discussing succession planning; and Cottage Life magazine’s editorial team answering the most-asked cottage questions—from wildlife management to aging at the cottage, and more.
