Event details
You can plan your cottage renovation, find the perfect dock builder, or finally tackle that landscaping project at this comprehensive home show, held May 2 and 3, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Owen Sound’s Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre and JD McArthur Arena.
The rebranded Grey Bruce Home & Lifestyle Show (formerly the Home & Cottage Expo) now features expanded content beyond traditional home design and outdoor living, including personal wellness, recreational activities like hunting and fishing, technology, and healthy lifestyle choices.
The 2026 show features hundreds of indoor, outdoor, and small market vendors across several specialized zones, including a brand-new Angler and Hunter vendor zone on the main level. You can connect with contractors, landscapers, home improvement experts, outdoor recreation dealers, pool and spa specialists, and consumer electronics suppliers all in one convenient location, with live demonstrations throughout both days.
Entry costs $5 for adults, while children 12 and under enter free. This collaborative partnership between the City of Owen Sound, the Knights of Columbus, and the Grey Bruce Home Builders Association draws approximately 3,500 attendees annually and raises funds for community programs including Families for Autism, Special Olympics, Canadian Mental Health Association, and the Salvation Army Food Bank.
The Owen Sound Attack concession stand serves food throughout the show, and the facility is fully wheelchair accessible with elevator access and nut-aware policies.
