Celebrate 48 years at the Western Show

If you work on pools and spas or have anything to do with aquatic tech or outdoor living, you do not want to miss the upcoming Western Pool & Spa Show. This is the big one on the West Coast. It’s happening Thursday through Saturday, February 12-14, 2026, at the Long Beach Convention Center — with exhibit hall hours roughly 1-5 p.m. every day.

This show isn’t just “another trade expo” — it’s a full throttle immersion in the future of pools, spas, and outdoor luxury:

• Massive Exhibit Floor: You’ll see the latest products, gear, and tech from top manufacturers and innovators — from pool automation systems to equipment, design innovations and more.

• Expert-Led Seminars: Whether you’re a seasoned pool pro or a budding builder/owner, there are educational tracks (in English and Spanish) covering water chemistry, equipment repair, business strategies, spa maintenance — even a chance to get certified as a pool operator (CPO).

• Giveaways & Raffles: Hourly prize drawings, cash giveaways, and serious swag — someone will walk away with the big-ticket check for 20 thousand dollars.

• Networking + Industry Vibes: This show gathers pool pros, contractors, distributors, buyers — the kind of connections that can lead to collaborations, job leads, or future business opportunities.

Best of all — you’re in Long Beach. Which means after (or before) you check out pumps and filters, you can dip into some of SoCal’s sweetest coastal vibes:

• Want a break from pool talk? Check out the Aquarium of the Pacific — one of the largest aquariums in the U.S., packed with marine life and giant tanks.

• History + Charm: The storied Queen Mary — the nearly-centuryold ocean liner — offers tours, stunning harbor views and a moody, vintage ambiance. This year, it’s a host hotel!

• Waterfront Fun: Stroll through Shoreline Village, ride bikes along the coast, catch a whale-watching cruise, soak up sunset harbor vibes, or hit Downtown Long Beach’s lively restaurant & nightlife scene.

• Theme-Park Bonus: Bring the family and send them to Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Universal Studios Hollywood or Knott’s Berry Farm — all within an easy drive while you focus on the show.

If you’re serious about building, renovating, repairing, or just geeking out on pool/spa lifestyle — the Western Pool & Spa Show is where it all converges. You get cuttingedge education, top-tier gear, killer networking… and then you step out into Long Beach’s waterfront paradise.
