How many vendors will there be?
There were 53 in 2007. We'll have at least that many again this year.

 

How many visitors do you expect?
Last year 5-600 people came through the Fair. (Even though it was the first sunny Saturday we'd had in months, and most people were outside playing in the sun!) We expect higher numbers this year as 200 women will be in Whistler for the Every Woman in the World Conference, and the Fair is on the first weekend of the Whistler Wellness Week.

The Fair will be co-marketed through our partner Whistler Wellness Week and their partners Tourism Whistler, Global BC, The Vancouver Sun, The Province, and lululemon.
