“Better and Stronger After 55“
Life after 55 isn’t about slowing down—it’s about stepping into what’s next with confidence, curiosity, and style. Join us for an inspiring, fun-filled day at the 55+ Lifestyle Show, created especially for people who believe their best years are still unfolding.
With 75+ exhibitors under one roof, you’ll discover products, services, and ideas designed to help you live well, stay active, and feel empowered. Explore everything from leisure and travel, wellness and fitness, fashion, financial planning, housing options, and so much more—all in a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere.
Come Early — We Love Early Birds
Arrive early and you’ll be rewarded with a goodie bag, packed with treats and surprises from our exhibitors (while supplies last).
Learn, Be Inspired, and Connect
Our stage area will feature engaging speakers and conversations on topics that matter right now, including:
- Travel adventures and experiences after 55
- Creating a successful and fulfilling retirement
- Making meaningful connections—friendships and romance
- Reinventing yourself and embracing new chapters
Keeping the day lively and flowing are our Masters of Ceremonies, beloved former radio personalities Lisa Marshall and Michael Forbes, bringing warmth, humour, and plenty of personality to the stage.
Fashion, Style, and Self-Expression
Enjoy two fashion shows by Blue Sky Clothing Co., a proudly BC-based company with a store right here in Victoria. Their beautifully designed women’s clothing ranges from XS to 4X, featuring comfortable, flattering styles made from sustainably sourced fabrics—proof that fashion after 55 can be both stylish and conscious.
We’re also hoping to add live dancers and musicians to the day, creating an energetic, celebratory vibe throughout the show.
A Little Pampering Never Hurts
You may even catch a live makeover, offering inspiration for a fresh new look.
End the Day on a High Note
We’ll wrap up the show with an exciting door prize draw, featuring a two-day stay at the Days Inn in beautiful downtown Victoria—the perfect mini getaway.
Better and Stronger After 55 isn’t just a theme—it’s a mindset.
Come for the information. Stay for the inspiration. Leave feeling energized about what’s next.
