Welcome to the Show!

Entering it's 3rd year, the 'Up-North' Lake & Cottage Show is  Traverse City's premiere trade show & sales event. In 2011 just over 1800 people attended.   The three-day event has 133 exhibitor displays. The Lake & Cottage Show features a diverse and eclectic group of regional exhibitors, who sell merchandise and services directly from their exhibit booth. The 2012 'Up-North' Lake & Cottage Show is set for April 20th - 22nd,  Friday Saturday & Sunday at Howe Arena in Traverse City. Whether it's on the lake, high on a bluff with a beautiful view, nestled next to a flowing river, or in a cozy cottage in the woods, 'Up-North' is a lifestyle all its own. In Michigan, traveling 'Up-North' is a family tradition that has been handed down generation to generation.  It is with that backdrop that Blue Water Promotions proudly presents the 3rd annual 'Up-North' Lake & Cottage Show in Traverse City.

Exhibitor categories include designers, decorators, landscapers, indoor and outdoor furniture, unique & specialty retailers, cottage & home services, recreational products and activities, artisans, floor covering, kitchen & bath, custom builders, contractors, marine services, docks & boat lifts, real estate, and many more. Please note many Exhibitors will be displaying and selling their merchandise/services directly from their exhibit space. 

Mark your calendar for April 20th - 22nd 2012 for the 3rd annual 'Up North' Lake & Cottage Show.  The Show will be held at Howe Arena, also known as the Grand Traverse County Civic Center, with free and easy access parking, snacks food & beverages available from the Pizza Wagon.
