The Winter Market

Make memories with loved ones at the Winter Market!

The Winter Market is back! And this year we’ve got four days of wintery fun in store for you.

 

Join us at Evergreen Brick Works on December 1, 8, 15 and 22, 2024 from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm!

Recap of the 2023 Winter Market

About the market

The Winter Market is the perfect spot to create lasting memories with your loved ones this holiday season. It’s an opportunity to step away from screens and enjoy meaningful moments together. Whether you’re visiting with family or friends, this market offers a unique experience for everyone. It’s a wonderful addition to your holiday bucket list!

 

Ontario Artisan Market and Ontario Vintage Market will be joining us again this year, offering vintage clothing, handmade art and more from 60+ vendors. We’ll also have a food court and food trucks selling mouth-watering food and drinks. And that’s not all – you can also expect children’s activities, a cozy winter garden, workshops, an immersive holiday light experience and so much more.

 

Cost: We are asking attendees that are able/willing to follow a “Pay What You Can” model with a suggestion of $5. This allows everyone to attend while also helping to raise funds that go directly back to running the site and beloved programming like Free Public Skating.

Mosaic-Making Workshop and Rock Painting

Get ready to create, play and connect at our mosaic-making workshops for children and youth!

Contribute your ideas to the design of a new gathering circle in the Children’s Garden. The gathering circle will feature mosaics and stone etched with animal tracks from the Don Valley, offering a space for our visitors to connect with nature and community. These mosaics, created using reclaimed materials, will inspire elements of a new amphitheatre and fireside experience in the Children’s Garden launching in spring 2025.

Your mosaics will help shape this exciting project, but you won’t be able to take them home. We will also have a rock painting activity where you can create something special to take with you!

Registration for the workshops at the Market opens at 11am.
