The Ottawa Cottage Life & Backyard Show returns April 21-23 at the EY Centre. Tickets are on-sale at shows.cottagelife.com

(Ottawa, ON – March 28, 2023) – With spring here, Canada’s favourite time of year is just around the corner – cottage season. The Ottawa Cottage Life & Backyard Show is the ultimate cottage lifestyle resource in Eastern Ontario and the west Québec region in Quebec, offering exclusive deals and an incredible opportunity to learn from the experts about ownership and rentals, renovation and backyard improvement projects, smart home/cottage technology, gardening and so much more. The Ottawa Cottage Life & Backyard Show returns to the EY Centre from Friday, Apr. 21 to Sunday, Apr. 23. Tickets are on sale now at shows.cottagelife.com.

The largest, one-stop destination for homeowners and cottagers in the region will reconnect attendees with the cottage and outdoor living industries’ leading brands and more than 150 exhibitors. Through engaging talks and demonstrations, visitors will learn the latest on the cottage real estate market, décor trends, landscaping a backyard oasis, dealing with cottage critters and upgrading their homes with smart tech that will save money on energy bills and premium insurance. 

According to Royal LePage’s newly released recreational property forecast, prospective cottage owners in Ontario and Quebec can expect to see some relief in the market after several years of limited inventory and rising prices – with a projected decline in prices by eight per cent in Quebec and five per cent in Ontario. The Show’s Real Estate Centre will serve as home base for over a dozen realtors from across Ontario who can help interested buyers navigate the expected market changes. 

Plus, exclusive offers mean visitors can lock in a boat purchase early to avoid supply delays and explore the latest in watercraft, docks, water toys, outdoor furniture, décor, food and entertaining, as well as find information on builders and contractors, realtors, innovative building products, small structures such as bunkies and gazebos and eco-friendly solutions.
