The market features handmade goods and gifts, including artisan jewelry and pottery, home décor and homemade candles, and locally baked holiday sweets. Grain & Grind Cafe will also be present, providing coffee and hot cocoa. Attendees are encouraged to meet and talk to the makers behind their gifts, with Business Cards and promotional items often changing hands at markets such as this. Marketing material emphasizes the community nature of the market:
“Come and discover one-of-a-kind gifts, meet the makers, and enjoy a fun-filled day out with family and friends. Mark your Calendars and join us for a joyous celebration of community, creativity, and Holiday cheer!”
The market is hosted by the Picaroons Roundhouse, which also holds regular yoga and “paint and sip” events, and other seasonal activities. Due to popular demand, this year the Christmas Makers Market has been expanded from one week to two. Vendors at past editions have included Cranberry Steve’s BBQ Sauce, Maritime Stationery, and Neighbourly Coffee. A full list of vendors, selected from online applications, for this year’s events will be released in the lead-up to the markets.
The 2024 Christmas Makers Market will take place on the afternoons of November 17 and December 15 at the Picaroons Roundhouse in Fredericton.
