Explore, Engage, Experience and Enjoy the Cumberland County Women’s Expo
The Women’s Expo — the premier women’s event in central Pennsylvania — is returning to Cumberland County this fall.
A blend of information, entertainment, shopping, socializing, learning and fun, the 13th annual Cumberland County Women’s Expo will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Carlisle Expo Center, 100 K St., Carlisle.
Hosted by local event-production company OLP Events, the Women’s Expo invites women of all ages and interests for a lively experience of shopping, inspiration and relaxation and to learn about products and services.
Exhibitors from all facets of a woman’s life will be on-hand, making personal connections with the demographic that makes more than 83% of all purchasing decisions — women.
Ranging from larger businesses to small franchises and “solopreneurs,” vendors will provide women plenty of opportunities to shop and gather information about health and wellness, travel, home improvements, fashion, beauty and more.
