East Pierce County Business Expo 2026: A Stronger Year for Local Business Connections

The second annual East Pierce County Business Expo has officially wrapped up, and this year’s event proved just how strong and connected our local business community continues to become. From entrepreneurs and service providers to families, community leaders, and residents from across East Pierce County, the Expo brought together an incredible mix of people eager to network, discover local businesses, and have some fun along the way.

With more than 45 vendors participating, attendees had the opportunity to explore a wide range of industries, services, and artists all under one roof. The Expo showcased the diversity of our local business economy, featuring everything from creative professionals and home services to wellness businesses, nonprofits, retail vendors, and interactive experiences. Whether visitors came to make new business connections, learn about local resources, or simply enjoy the atmosphere, there was truly something for everyone.

Attendees also enjoyed plenty of food, giveaways, swag, and prize opportunities throughout the event. Our featured food vendors helped with complimentary samples. Guests lined up for delicious, tender ribs from Longhorn BBQ, while Puerto Vallarta served up homemade churros along with fresh chips and salsa.

Many vendors reported meaningful conversations, new leads, and strong community engagement throughout the event. For local entrepreneurs, opportunities like this are more than just networking events, they are an investment in long-term community and economic development.

We are incredibly grateful to every vendor, sponsor, volunteer, and attendee who helped make this year’s Expo such a success. The enthusiasm, energy, and support shown throughout the event are exactly what make East Pierce County such a great place to live and do business.
