Holiday Market Collective returns this winter for two weekends: December 6 to 8 and December 13 to 15, featuring over 155 artisans, including 35 percent new and budding artists. Taking place at the BMO Centre, this highly anticipated market promises to be a highlight of the season, bringing together Calgarians in a celebration of local talent and a unique shopping experience.

The family-friendly event promises to showcase unique vendors, live DJs and artists, interactive workshops, galleries, food and beverage, a kids’ zone, and Santa portraits with award-winning Calgary photographer, Heather Saitz. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a jewelry-making workshop with Bramble Lee Pryde, test their skills on the pottery wheel with MUD Urban Potters, make their own puppet with WP Puppet Theatre, refresh at the immersive "Freshen Up" bar by Routine Natural Beauty, and design a holiday card on a vintage tabletop printing press with The Sprawl.
