Exploring Edmonton Christmas craft markets is a great way to find local and unique gifts to give! Meeting local artisans, seeing their handiwork and feeling the energy of things created is the fun part for me to visit these markets.

Edmonton Christmas Craft Market Tips
- Bring your own reusable bag to carry your treasures away
- Wear layers – many shows will have a coat check for a fee, but dressing in your favorite vest and sweater might be easier in crowds
- Review your Christmas shopping list so you know who you might need to look for gifts for
- If you have the time (and energy) – walk through a second time – you’ll be amazed at what items you might have missed the first round through
Is there a great neighborhood market we’ve missed? Be sure to email me so I can add it to the list.
