There’s something different in the air this year. More “Made in Canada” signs in shop windows, more conversations about supporting local, more pride in choosing homegrown over imported.

And nowhere is that shift more visible than at the Circle Craft Holiday Market, Western Canada’s largest craft sale, returning to the Vancouver Convention Centre November 11-16.

Since 1974, Circle Craft has connected British Columbians with the people behind the products. This year, over 300 artisans from across Canada will set up shop for six full days, and they’re all feeling the momentum.

What You’ll Find

Expect wooden ornaments celebrating Canadian geography, clothing hand-painted with West Coast landscapes, children’s books on Canadian mythology, and seasonings made with foraged BC ingredients. Work spans every medium: ceramics, glass, metals, wood, jewellery, textiles, and paper.

You can touch the textiles, smell the soaps, try on the jewellery, and walk away with your purchase in hand. No waiting, no shipping fees, no wondering if the product will match the photo.

The market also features food and drink, live music, artisan demos, and a Creative Craft Kids’ Corner where children can create and write letters to Santa.
