The Heart of Handmade: Vancouver’s Holiday Market Returns

Every December, the PNE Forum in Vancouver transforms into a glittering hub of creativity for one of Canada’s most beloved handmade markets — Make It Vancouver. With twinkling lights, live music, and aisles brimming with artisan goods, it’s more than a market — it’s a celebration of artistry, connection, and joy.

Avalon Rose Botanicals is thrilled to return to this year’s show, joining hundreds of fellow makers who pour their passion into every handcrafted creation. Whether you come for the gifts, the community, or the creative inspiration, you’ll leave with something truly special.

Things to See, Taste, and Experience at Make It Vancouver 2025

Over 250 curated artisans and makers from across Canada will fill the venue with treasures that range from handmade jewelry and ceramics to gourmet treats and sustainable skincare.

Enjoy:

• Live music and festive energy throughout the day
• Local food trucks serving cozy comfort fare
• Workshops and meet-the-maker moments to learn about the craft behind the creations
• Creative panel events at the Maker Meet Up — featuring insight, networking, and light refreshments for exhibitors and creative entrepreneurs

The atmosphere is equal parts festive market and community gathering — a space where makers and shoppers connect over a shared love of creativity and quality.
