Vancouver RV Shows in the Fraser Valley in Spring & Fall
Vancouver’s main RV shows take place in the Fraser Valley in the spring and fall. They include the Abbotsford RV Show, Earlybird RV Show and Snowbird RV Show.
The Abbotsford RV Show takes place at Woody’s RV World twice a year. Admission is free and it always takes place at the same time as the Earlybird RV Show and Snowbird RV Show which are ticketed and cost about $15 each online (plus extra for parking).
The Earlybird RV Show and spring edition of the Abbotsford RV Show happen in February. The Snowbird RV Show and fall edition of the Abbotsford RV Show, meanwhile, happen in September.
RV Shows in Abbotsford
For those who want to see the latest and best RV vehicles and gear, there are two weekends each year when it’s all on display in Abbotsford. RV Shows Canada and Abbotsford RV Shows put on simultaneous events in both February and September.
The spring and fall events are roughly similar in size, although the fall ones are usually a little bigger. They used to all take place inside the TRADEX Centre in Abbotsford. Now, however, the Abbotsford RV Shows happen just down the road at Woody’s RV World.
Below are details on each of the four annual shows.
SPRING RV SHOWS
The two main spring RV shows take place in February, usually towards the end of the month. They happen close to each other in Abbotsford, just a 5-minute drive apart.
Earlybird RV Show
The Earlybird RV Show takes place annually inside the TRADEX Centre. The venue is located next to the Abbotsford International Airport at 1190 Cornell Street. The building boasts over 120,000 square feet of indoor display space which makes it a great place to have an RV show.
There are typically close to 50 exhibitor booths at the Earlybird RV Show including dozens of vehicles to climb inside and explore. There are also a number of different seminars that happen over the course of the event. They include mechanical tutorials, safety tips, and other interesting information. The focus for this event is on those who plan on going camping in the spring, summer and early fall.
Tickets to the event cost around $15 for adults. Senior and youth tickets are a few dollars less. Children under the age of 13 get in for free. Multi-day passes are available for around $20 and parking at TRADEX costs about $10.
Abbotsford RV Spring Show
The Abbotsford RV Spring Show is pretty similar to the Earlybird RV Show, just a bit smaller, less crowded, with free admission, and more outdoors. There aren’t as many exhibitors at this event, and no public seminars. Both admission and parking are free, however, which makes it a good place to check out (especially if you’re already planning on going to the Earlybird RV Show).
The Abbotsford RV Show takes place at Woody’s RV World at 31708 Marshall Road. It’s just a five-minute drive from TRADEX.
With this RV show, there is usually live music on at least two out of the four days, typically with at least one quite well-known band. They also have free hot dogs and soft drinks on the Saturdays and Sundays at select times in the afternoon. There is also balloon artist/face painter on site on the weekends.
If you want to see lots of recreational vehicles, but don’t want to pay for the privilege to do so, this is the RV show to attend. And if you are serious about getting an RV and researching your purchase, if you attend the Earlybird RV Show at the TRADEX Centre, you’ll want to attend this one too.

FALL RV SHOWS
The fall events for both RV Shows Canada and Abbotsford RV Shows happen in mid-September.
Snowbird RV Show
While the Earlybird RV Show is a good place for those who plan on going camping during the nicer months, the Snowbird RV Show is for those who head south during the winter and thus want a larger and more equipped vehicle (hence the use of “snowbird” in the event name). This event features the most luxurious RVs you’ll see, and some of the biggest!
Like the Earlybird event, the Snowbird RV Show is held at the TRADEX Centre. It’s mostly an indoor event. The tickets and parking cost the same as the February edition, so about $15 for adults and $10 or so for parking. There are also different seminars to enjoy at this event (which usually include topics like preparing your vehicle for the winter), as well as some featured speakers.
Overall, the Snowbird RV Show is pretty similar to the Earlybird RV Show. It’s just a bit bigger, both in terms of the vehicles themselves as well as how much is going on inside the venue.
Abbotsford RV Fall Show
The Abbotsford RV Fall Show takes place at Woody’s RV World. While the main part of the show is on the same Thursday to Sunday as the Snowbird RV Show, in 2026 there was also a special sneak peek day on Wednesday, September 16th, and a final sale day on Monday, September 21st. This might be the case again in 2027, although exact details are to be confirmed.
There are around 20 different exhibitors to check out at the Abbotsford RV Fall Show. Like the spring edition, admission and parking are both free! There’s also live music to enjoy while checking out all of the RVs on at least a couple of the days, plus face painting and a balloon artist on site on the weekend.
Because it’s free to attend, has lots of other brands, and it’s just a five-minute drive from the RV shows taking place on the same days at TRADEX, if you go to the other RV shows, you’ll want to go to this one too. And if you want to go to an RV show, but don’t want to pay for admission, then you’ll want to attend this one, either in the fall or the spring.

Other Information
TIP: A perk of buying your new recreational vehicle from the Abbotsford RV Shows at Woody’s RV is that they’ll give you their “Discovery Pass”. With it, Woody’s will reimburse you for 2-night stays anywhere in North America in your first year. (Note though that some restrictions apply.)
