YEG Home-Based Business Expo | Shop Local & Support Edmonton Entrepreneurs

The YEG Home-Based Business Expo is more than just a market.
It’s a celebration of local entrepreneurs, dreamers, makers, creators, and businesses that were built from kitchen tables, spare bedrooms, garages, basements, and late nights filled with passion and hard work.

We’re bringing together amazing home-based businesses from across Edmonton and surrounding areas for a fun, welcoming, community-focused event designed to help people connect, shop local, discover new businesses, and support the incredible entrepreneurs building something meaningful right here in our city.

Whether you’re looking to shop, network, connect with local businesses, support small business owners, or simply experience something positive and inspiring in Edmonton — this event is for you.

This isn’t just another one-time event.
This is a movement built around visibility, support, connection, and community.

🎁 Expo Passport Giveaway

We’re making this event interactive and fun for attendees too.

When you RSVP to the event, you’ll be eligible to participate in our Expo Passport Giveaway.

Here’s how it works:
• RSVP to the event

• Visit vendor booths and complete your Expo Passport
• Submit your completed passport for a chance to win amazing prizes

This is one of the ways we’re encouraging attendees to explore the entire expo, connect with businesses, and truly experience everything the event has to offer.

Please note: RSVP alone does not count as an entry. Attendees must be present at the event and complete their Expo Passport to qualify.
👜 Tote Bags & Vendor Goodies

The first 20 attendees through the doors will receive exclusive expo tote bags filled with goodies, samples, coupons, and surprises from our amazing vendors.

We’ll also be giving away additional tote bags throughout the day, so even if you’re not one of the first through the door, there will still be chances to grab one.
🌟 NextGen Spotlight – Young Entrepreneur Competition

One of the things we care deeply about is creating opportunities for the next generation of entrepreneurs.

We know firsthand how difficult it can be to start a business at a young age — especially without connections, visibility, support, or community.

That’s why we’re launching our NextGen Spotlight, a special young entrepreneur initiative within the expo.

We’ll be selecting a young entrepreneur to receive a featured opportunity at the event, including a space within our dedicated Young Entrepreneur Section.

This section is designed to celebrate, encourage, and support young business owners who are already building incredible things.

Because entrepreneurship has no age limit — and we believe young entrepreneurs deserve to be seen too.
💛 Community Matters

At the heart of this expo is community.

This event was created because we believe home-based businesses deserve more visibility, more support, and more opportunities to grow.

So many incredible businesses are being built quietly behind closed doors — and this expo is about bringing them into the spotlight.

We also believe in giving back.

That’s why we’ll be providing space to a nonprofit organization we truly believe in, helping raise awareness for a cause making a positive impact in our community.
Why This Event Matters

Supporting local businesses creates real impact.

When you shop local and support home-based businesses:
• You support families
• You support dreams
• You support people taking chances on themselves
• You help build stronger communities
• You help keep local entrepreneurship alive in Edmonton

This expo is about creating something bigger than a single day.

It’s about building a community where entrepreneurs feel supported, where local businesses feel seen, and where Edmonton becomes known as a city that truly shows up for small business owners.
