It’s that time of year again when holiday markets ramp up. This year maybe a little earlier which also means there are many more opportunities to shop local this holiday season. We love sharing all the great artisan markets and craft fairs coming up over the next couple of months all with a view to making shopping local easier for you. Whether you are looking for a gift for someone for Christmas, a birthday or maybe a housewarming gift, there are so many local options to chose from. For those that don’t know “for every $100 spent with a BC local business, $64 is re-circulated back into our BC economy versus $14 for multi nationals. Why? Because locally owned businesses circulate more dollars in the community compared to multinational organizations.”
We’ve said it before, but we will say it again when you buy from a local maker, you are supporting those living and working in your local community. All have created a business doing something they love and are passionate about. We are 100% behind supporting those local dreamers and makers. Also, buying local is better for the environment. Items purchased at local markets are not being shipped long distances and all will have much less packaging. All around win win. To that end, we have again created a list of all the artisan markets and craft fairs happening in East Vancouver this holiday season. Things are kicking off early so we invite you to review our list of East Van Holiday Markets for 2025.
