BC Sport & Wilderness Show

BC Sport & Wilderness Show (formerly BC Sportsmen's Show) is BC's fishing, boating, hunting and outdoor lifestyle consumer show in the Fraser Valley, produced by Marketplace Events.

Official rebrand: the official site states "BC Sportsmen's Show will be rebranded as the BC Sport & Wilderness Show - West Coast Wild" — the broader name keeps the hunting/fishing heritage while opening the door to hiking, camping, paddling and wider outdoor-adventure audiences.

Last confirmed edition: March 6-8, 2026 at TRADEX (Trade and Exhibition Centre), 1190 Cornell Street, Abbotsford, BC (Wayback archived official site, 2026-02-10).

2027 status — officially paused: the official site currently displays an "Important Update": after careful review of the market and overall show performance, Marketplace Events has decided to pause the BC Sport & Wilderness Show for 2027 while it evaluates the long-term direction of the event, citing exhibitor/consumer sentiment below portfolio norms and increased market competition. Efforts are focused on the Calgary Boat and Outdoors Show, the Edmonton Boat and Sportsmen's Show and the launch of the Manitoba Sport & Outdoor Show. No 2027 dates exist and no cancellation of the brand has been announced. Exhibitor inquiries are redirected to the show team (Marla Kimball, Show Manager, [email protected]; Kristy Cairns, Group Manager, [email protected]).
