History: For more than 25 years, Ridge Meadows Home Show has been a source of pride for local residents. Starting as a small event that showcased the wares of local merchants, the event has grown to become one of the province's largest, and best-attended shows.

A consistent sellout, the show today proudly hosts more than 250 exhibitor booths, representing some of the most respected firms from throughout BC and the Lower Mainland.

Run by volunteer community groups for a number of years, the show was restructured in 1995 when a group of local business people formed the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Home Show Society.

Under the society's stewardship, the show has grown steadily, attracting a diverse audience from throughout the Lower Mainland.

Partner Events: Contributing to our success and broadening our appeal are several partner events which run simultaneously with the home show, in separate venues. Among these events are McDonald's Funzone Children's Festival---a magical place of adventure and creativity for kids, as well as a restaurant showcase, The Times' Taste of Ridge Meadows. Other features include the Body, Mind and Soul Psychic Fair and West Coast Amusements.
