Local Stamp Shows and Exhibitions
Here are links to some of the upcoming stamp shows in around the lower mainland of BC and the US Pacific northwest for 2024. Those hosting exhibits are perfect events to get started in exhibiting if you are so inclined as judging tends to be easier than in national and international shows. Otherwise, there are usually lots of dealers with wide selections of stamps, covers, and other philatelic material. Bring money! Click on the name to go directly to the host site (if there is one):
