Show Schedule
Come Play! ToyFest has enjoyed substantial growth in attendance over the years, with impressive increases in both exhibitor and buyer participation contributing to the overall success of the event.

We expect 500-600 Manufacturers and well over 1000 different products at the 2023 event.

It’s All About the Camaraderie!
WTHRA Board of Directors Blake Goldenberg says “It’s all about the camaraderie.”
“Those of you that have joined us at our annual trade show know exactly what I’m referring to, a sense of family. At ToyFest you’re treated as a real person, as if you’ve just come home to see your family. The show is set up in an open environment with open booths, welcoming buyers to browse. The sales representatives & manufacturers are there to help and spend time with you. You won’t feel rushed; instead you’ll feel relaxed and productive. Since 1961, WTHRA has been producing an outstanding show; isn’t it about time you come see what all the buzz is about? I look forward to seeing you there!”, states Blake Goldenberg
