Spring 2009

I have been exhibiting at the Creativ Festival for more than five years.  It is the most professionally run show I have ever participated in and with every show, my sales increase.  The show organizers ensure that attendance is as high as possible and are most helpful in providing me with the facilities to promote my products.

A very special thank you to Rita and the entire Creativ Festival team for putting on a show that not only brings crafters/sewers/quilters and beaders together but allows everyone in attendance to have an interactive experience while offering an exciting marketplace.   The Creativ Festival is a large boost to the crafting industry in Canada and we are thrilled to be a sponsor of such a fabulous event!

As a first time exhibitor at Spring CreativFestival 2009, I was extremely pleased with both the show attendance and sales. In fact I sold out of several items by Friday afternoon! It's the perfect venue to connect with my retail customers."

"We have participated in the Creativ Festival (both Spring and Fall shows) for more years than I can remember, and always have a great time! This past spring show was one of the best, with enthusiastic attendees looking to spend their money. We look forward to an equally great show in the fall!"

Fall 2008

As a first-time vendor at Creativ Festival Fall 2008, my many questions were always answered promptly by the very efficient and friendly show staff. The staff was also on hand to help during the show and the many events being held in conjunction with the show were very well coordinated. The advertising for the show was obviously well handled as shown by the thousands of people who attended. I was particularly impressed by the number of young people who came because they are the ones who will keep our industry alive. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

For many years I have made the trek from western to eastern Canada for the Creativ Festival. People always ask me why do I travel so far for one show. The answer is simple. This is the best attended show in Canada. The show staff are friendly, helpful and masters at bringing huge numbers of interested buyers from all over the province and across the line from the US. The show is beautifully decorated and organized with new and interesting classes, teachers and products. This is what makes a show a success for all. To those of you that question whether it is a good idea to travel any distance to a trade show, I have given you all the right reasons to do so above.

Thank you to all the great staff members that have helped to make the show a successful one for me and a pleasure to exhibit at.

I was excited about the show even before I arrived. But it was so much more when I got there - Friendly, welcoming, great hands-on workshops and terriffic, quality vendors.
