Shoppers chatting between a decorated Christmas tree and a rack of handmade bags at the Village NEW HOME FOR 2026

We’ve moved

Same makers, same Bratwurst, same Christmas cheer. Our home for the last two seasons is being rebuilt, so this year we’re at Wellington Hall, just off the Island Highway.

Thirty Island makers

Leather wallets, watercolour cards, crochet frogs and handmade mugs. The person behind the table made what’s on it.

Meet the makers

Come hungry

Bratwurst off the grill, soft pretzels, Sauerkraut and Stollen by the slice. Plant-based and gluten-free options too.

A gift for every child

Half of every door donation buys a gift for a Nanaimo child. The other half helps us run the market.
