The Ray Twinney Recreation Complex in Newmarket will host the 2026 Home & Lifestyle Show on March 28–29, 2026, the Central York Chamber of Commerce announced. Billed as York Region’s largest home show, the free-admission event aims to connect homeowners with local retailers, artisans and home-service providers.
Exhibitor registration opens for Central York Chamber members from October 7 to November 15, 2025, before opening to all businesses on November 16, 2025. Members who register by the early-bird deadline of January 16, 2026, receive a 13 per cent discount on 10×10-foot booth space (early-bird discount applies to members only).
Organizers say the two-day event will host more than 130 vendors across the complex’s two arenas and the show has traditionally attracted thousands of visitors. Free parking and public admission are intended to drive foot traffic to local businesses, from renovators and landscapers to boutique artisans seeking sales leads and direct customer connections.
“With rising tariffs and economic uncertainty, our dollars have power — and where we spend them matters,” said Chris Emanuel, President and CEO of the Central York Chamber of Commerce. He noted the spring show offers a face-to-face platform that supports the shop-local philosophy and anchors the region’s business calendar.
