FAQ

How many vendors will there be?

We usually have 40-50 vendors. 

 

How many visitors do you expect?

This weekend looks to be a busy one and the Westin is fully booked. It's an American long weekend, and there is also a conference with 150 Dentists and their spouses in town.

So we expect 500 to 800 people coming through the Fair. (Naturally, weather can play a large role in indoor events in Whistler!)

 

What kind of marketing will there be?

Our partners are great at helping us get the word out:

  • lululemon athletica
  • Westin Resort & Spa
  • Tourism Whistler
  • Whistler Wellness
  • Mind-Body Fitness
  • and Every Woman In The World

We also run print ads, poster the Sea-To-Sky corridor, and hit all the hotels, spas and clinics, etc.
