Toronto, ON (October 3, 2018) – Cottage Life is celebrating the special connection people have to the distinct lakes, regions and towns in cottage country at the Fall Cottage Life Show, which runs from Friday, October 19 to Sunday, October 21 at The International Centre in Mississauga. The annual show gives visitors the chance to shop from 225 exhibitors offering building products and services, unique furniture and decor, boats and docks and outdoor equipment, as well as opportunities to meet in person with cottage country realtors, building experts, eco-energy suppliers and more. This fall, Colin and Justin will be at the show to meet fans and talk about their brand new documentary series, Great Canadian Cottages, which follows their travels to dozens of unique cottages across the many diverse lake regions in Ontario. The new series premieres on the Cottage Life channel on Thursday, October 18 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
“Cottage Life is a reflection of the people and places that make cottage living special and there’s no better place to celebrate that sense of community than at the Cottage Life show,” said Michelle Kelly, Editor-in-Chief of Cottage Life. “At this year’s Fall Show we’ll be inviting fans to tell us about their cottage experiences, which is the best way to discover new stories and, in turn, create more inspiring content for our audiences.”
2018 Fall Cottage Life Show Highlights:
The Cottage Life booth – Summer has wrapped, but the cottage vibe will be in full swing in the Cottage Life booth, where showgoers can pinpoint their cottage getaway on a large scale map installation and take home a free keepsake button of their favourite lake region. Attendees will have the opportunity to chat with Cottage Life editorial staff and relay their own cottage stories. The booth will be stocked with limited edition hoodies, exclusively created for this year’s Fall Show by Roots, as well as other branded apparel. The Cottage Life magazine team will also be offering special discounts on magazine subscriptions.
The Main Stage – Cottage Life brings its best-in-class expertise, advice and ideas to life on stage with a lineup of can’t-miss presentations, including:
- Colin and Justin – Cottage Life fan favourites and stars of the new series, Great Canadian Cottages, Colin and Justin, will be meet and greet fans on Saturday, October 20 and Sunday, October 21 in the Cottage Life booth.

Cottage Workshop: Ice fishing hut that transforms into a bunkie – This year, show-goers will be treated to a cottage-inspired workshop with veteran Cottage Life carpenter extraordinaire, Wayne Lennox, who will be doing a weekend-long live demonstration on how to build an ice fishing hut that can be repurposed into a bunkie or play shed in the summer months. All lumber will be supplied by Home Hardware and visitors will be able to enter their names for a chance to win the finished product.
The Dock Party – The always-popular dock party gives attendees a chance to kick back and take a load off with a great mix of food and beverages to sample. This year’s Dock Party will sample premium beer from Muskoka Brewery and the sales will benefit the Cottage Dreams Cancer Recovery Initiative.
The Great Outdoors – Show goers will have the opportunity to climb an 18-foot high rock wall with professional climbing experts on hand to coach and spot climbers.
