Trade Show

The Trade Show began in 1993 as a fundraiser for Soroptimist International of Oliver. When that group disbanded in 2003, the Trade Show continued through the work of the WOW Club.

Our mission statement reflects that the funds raised go to support our projects which focus mainly on women and children within our community.

Trade show displays feature everything from beautifully handcrafted jewelry to pottery, wood crafts, fibre art, health products and services, real estate and investments, home improvement, fashion, food, and many more themes.

The WOW Trade Show occurs annually.  Forty to sixty individual vendors showcase their wares in the Oliver Community Centre, where there is free parking for patrons.  Lunch and snacks are available in the canteen. 

The Trade Show will be held on March 28, 2026.  

If you would like to be part of the next Trade Show, please download our information package PDF  and the entry form.
