The Department of Trade, Industry and Fair Competition will host the first Grand Turk Trade Expo on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Victoria Public Library on Front Street.

The new event is designed to give Grand Turk entrepreneurs another platform to showcase their talents, products and services, connect directly with consumers and build greater visibility for their businesses.

The initiative forms part of the Department’s wider commitment to ensuring entrepreneurs throughout the Turks and Caicos Islands have opportunities to be seen, explored and supported.

A Mission to Discover TCI's Hidden Gems

The Grand Turk Trade Expo will also launch this year’s theme for Made in TCI 2026: “Calling All Agents.”

Members of the public are being invited to step into the role of agents and embark on a mission to uncover the people, products, businesses and ideas that make the Turks and Caicos Islands unique.

Visitors are encouraged to discover a business they have never heard of, meet a creator whose work deserves a wider audience, find a new favourite local product, sample something unexpected and share their discoveries with others.

The message is simple: when you find something exceptional, don’t keep it classified. Share it. Support it. Help put the hidden gems of the Turks and Caicos Islands in the spotlight.

Made in TCI Celebrates Five Years

The mission continues on Saturday, November 21, 2026, when the fifth annual Made in TCI Trade Show & Exhibition returns to Allegro Road in Grace Bay, Providenciales, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The milestone event will bring together local entrepreneurs, creators, innovators, food producers, designers and businesses from across the TCI for a celebration of everything imagined, created, grown, developed and made right here at home.

Now entering its fifth year, Made in TCI has become an important platform for showcasing the creativity and economic potential of local businesses while connecting them with the wider community.

Two Events; One Mission

Together, the two events, according to the organisers, will increase the visibility of local enterprises, strengthen connections between businesses and consumers and create more opportunities for residents and visitors to discover and support TCI-made goods and services.

The mission begins in the nation’s capital on November 14, where the inaugural Grand Turk Trade Expo will shine an additional spotlight on entrepreneurship and creativity in Grand Turk and across the wider Turks and Caicos Islands.

One week later, Made in TCI will continue that mission in Providenciales, celebrating five years of bringing local businesses and their products directly to the public.
