Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Calgary's home and garden market concentrates into one four-day event: the organiser's post-show report records tens of thousands of homeowners and more than 650 exhibitors converging on BMO Centre, Stampede Park to research renovation, landscaping, and decor projects. For suppliers, that is direct access to buyers who arrive with projects and budgets in hand; for visitors, it compresses sourcing, price comparison, and expert advice into a single venue next to the Victoria Park/Stampede C-Train station, with $18 on-site parking in Stampede Park lots.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Digital buyer journeys
Professionals expect pre-show agendas, product finders, and meeting tools; suppliers align demos and literature to short on-stand decision cycles.
Sustainability in procurement
Energy use, recyclable materials, and carbon reporting increasingly appear in RFPs and exhibitor scorecards across industrial trade fairs.
Automation and labour efficiency
Visitors benchmark machinery, software, and services that reduce downtime, staffing pressure, and total cost of ownership.
Regional supply-chain resilience
Buyers diversify suppliers across Europe, MENA, and Asia while favouring vendors with local service, spare parts, and training.
Hybrid engagement models
Live demonstrations remain decisive, but follow-up webinars, digital catalogues, and year-round supplier portals extend the commercial window after the show.
Renovators, designers, landscape contractors, distributors and suppliers plan the Calgary Home + Garden Show alongside the other major Canadian and Pacific Northwest home shows, because they share much of the same exhibitor base and consumer demand cycle. Booking Calgary together with Edmonton, Vancouver or Toronto gives exhibitors a coast-to-coast spring selling season from a single freight and staffing plan.
Pre-show (8–12 weeks out)
Confirm exhibitor meetings, collect product literature and set a show-floor shortlist of renovation, garden and outdoor-living suppliers.
Show week
Hall walk-throughs, stage sessions, design consultations and on-floor quote comparisons across the four days at BMO Centre.
Post-show (2–4 weeks)
Compare quotes across the circuit — Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver — before committing to a contractor or product order.
Peer events are established home, renovation and garden shows; confirm dates, venues and opening hours on each organiser's website before booking travel.

Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Calgary-Airport
Airport-area option with free parking and breakfast, suited to visitors arriving by air and driving to Stampede Park.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
train
Trains run roughly every 10 minutes and Victoria Park/Stampede station sits steps from the southwest entrance of BMO Centre — the quickest way to reach the show from downtown hotels, with a journey time of about 10 minutes from 8 Street SW. Buy at station machines or tap a contactless card.
bus
The airport express links YYC arrivals with downtown hotels in roughly 30–40 minutes; from downtown, transfer to the CTrain Red Line for Victoria Park/Stampede station. A lower-cost alternative to a taxi for visitors travelling light.
taxi
Allow 20–30 minutes off-peak, and more during the weekday 15:00–18:00 rush or a snowfall. Taxi ranks are outside the arrivals level and ride-hail pick-up is in the designated airport lot; confirm the fare band with the driver or app before departure.
parking
Enter the grounds from Macleod Trail at 12 Avenue S.E. or 25 Avenue S.E.; accessible spaces are distributed across the on-site lots, and the Calgary Parking parkade is roughly a 7-minute walk from BMO Centre. Arrive before 09:30 on Saturday and Sunday, when lots fill fastest.

Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
Visa-exempt passport holders generally need an eTA for air travel to Canada, while visa-required nationals need a visitor visa (TRV). Check Canada's business visitor page for your nationality before applying.
No ATA Carnet guidance was captured for this show; confirm temporary import rules with Canadian border services and the organiser if shipping display goods.
Official visa pageWeather
Calgary in late February is deep winter: average highs near -1 C (30 F) and overnight lows around -11 C (12 F), with roughly 18 mm of precipitation across about 12.9 snow days in the month. Expect dry cold, chinook-driven temperature swings, and icy walkways; allow extra travel time between hotels and BMO Centre during snow events.

Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Travel eSIMs for Canada and prepaid plans from Canadian carriers are the usual options for short business trips, with Wi-Fi available at BMO Centre. Use an eSIM or a roaming pack for maps, email, and messaging, and confirm your home operator's Canada rates before departure. Source: Canada travel eSIM guides (travelreddi.com, esims.ca).

Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Tipping
Tipping is expected in Calgary: 15–20% on the pre-tax total at restaurants and bars, CAD 2–5 per night for hotel housekeeping, and roughly 10–15% for taxis and ride-hail. Counter-service cafés and show-floor concessions usually present a tip prompt of 10–15%.
Business etiquette
Greetings are friendly and informal — a firm handshake, first names and a little small talk about the weather or the Flames before business. Meetings start on time and are usually booked one to two weeks ahead; English is the working language (Canada is officially bilingual, but French is rarely used in Calgary). Business cards are exchanged casually, with no formal ceremony.
Dress and February conditions
Business-casual is the norm on the show floor — chinos or dark jeans with a jacket or sweater. Late-February Calgary is dry and cold with fast chinook-driven temperature swings, so wear warm, removable layers and grippy boots for snow, ice and slush on the walk from parking or the CTrain, and keep a lighter layer for the heated exhibition halls.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Friday, February 26, 2027
The show runs Thursday 25 to Sunday 28 February 2027, and Friday is the sweet spot: every exhibitor is fully staffed after the opening-day set-up, stage presentations and consultations are in full swing, and the aisles are still noticeably quieter than the Saturday and Sunday consumer rush. Thursday works well if you need the longest uninterrupted conversations with suppliers, while the weekend is best for browsing finished displays with family — but for quoting, comparing and negotiating, Friday gives you the best ratio of access to crowd.
Check passport validity and confirm whether you need a Canada visitor visa (TRV) or an eTA — Visa-exempt air travellers need an eTA; visa-required nationals need a TRV. Apply through Canada's business visitor page at canada.ca before booking travel.
Book flights into Calgary and reserve a hotel near BMO Centre or in downtown Calgary — Downtown options such as Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Calgary Downtown keep you close to Calgary Transit C-Train Line 201 for the ride to Victoria Park/Stampede station.
Register online for the Calgary Home + Garden Show and buy tickets in advance — Buying online saves $2.00 versus the box office price of $16.00 for adults; children 12 and under are free.
Download the exhibitor list, floor plan, and Home + Garden Stage schedule — Use the exhibitor list and Show Specials pages on calgaryhgs.com to shortlist kitchens, bathrooms, landscaping, and decor suppliers.
Shortlist exhibitors and stage sessions and write down questions for contractors — Group must-see stands by hall so you can walk BMO Centre efficiently across the four show days.
Plan local transport to Stampede Park and decide on C-Train versus driving — Calgary Transit C-Train Line 201 stops at Victoria Park/Stampede station beside BMO Centre; parking in Stampede Park lots costs $18.
Confirm show hours and pre-book any ticketed add-ons or stage sessions — Check the Attendee Info pages on calgaryhgs.com for current doors-open times before locking your daily plan.
Pack layered winter clothing, grip footwear, and printed registration and ID — Calgary in February averages about -1 C highs and -11 C lows with roughly 12.9 snow days, so windproof layers and waterproof boots matter.
Check the weather forecast plus Calgary Transit and road conditions — Chinook swings can change conditions quickly; allow extra time on snow days and keep boots dry between halls.
Charge devices, download your tickets, and set an early alarm for Day 1 — Have your online ticket or QR code ready for scanning at the Main Entrance and Hall E box office area.
Arrive at BMO Centre, collect your badge, and pick up a show guide — BMO Centre at Stampede Park is at 1912 Flores LaDue Parade SE, Calgary; arrive early on the first morning for security screening.
