Spring has officially arrived and with it, the full spring show calendar gets underway. This weekend we’ve got a few stellar choices for you:

VANCOUVER: Portebello West

This monthly art market returns after a brief post-holiday-season break to kick off the spring season. Their new location at the Creekside Recreation Centre in the Olympic Village has enough space for 90 vendors and, according to their website, has a fantastic view too :)

March 26th and 27th from 11am to 5pm
Admission: $2 for non-members.

CALGARY: Market Collective

Calgary’s Market Collective sounds like a really fun event, with a different featured artist and musician each time. This Market they are showcasing Light and Soul Creations and Raleigh, respectively. A huge list of fabulous vendors, and some of our C+H favourites will be there, too!

March 26th 10:00 am – 6:00 pm
March 27th 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
148 10th St NW – in the old Ant Hill building, Kensington, Calgary.

ST. CATHARINES: Brocante Lux Fashion and Art Market

The Brocante Lux is a fashion and art event, with a clothing swap too! Music, art, good food and even a swing dance demonstration all while you browse some of the best the Niagara creative scene has to offer.

Friday March 25th 11:00 am – 8:00 pm
Market Square, St. Catharines

If you live nearby any of these events, take some time out to visit and support your local artisans! As always, if you know of an event happening near you that we haven’t included (or one that’s coming up so we can add it to our calendar!) do let us know at events@canadianhandmade.ca
