Holiday craft markets are a large part of the festive season here on the South Shore. They are a great place to find unique, locally made gifts and goodies for almost everyone on your list. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, a number of these markets have been cancelled. In an effort to support our local artisans we have put together a list of some of those who have online or alternative shopping options available. Scroll through and discover how you can support South Shore artisans & makers this holiday season.

Please take a peak at what our amazing makers and artisans have been working on for MONTHS…all FOR YOU! Our vendors have invested incredible amounts of time, effort and money to be able to do markets like ours and the financial impact of cancelling such an event is huge.

Supporting local has never been more important. We hope this helps you find a favourite South Shore artisan or maker, or maybe you’ll discover someone new, and continue to support local during this unique holiday season.

If you are a local, South Shore artisan or maker who has had your holiday market schedule cancelled and have alternative shopping options, send us a message and we will be happy to add you to the list.
