North Delta’s Artisan Holiday Market

The North Delta Artisan and Gift Market is a holiday craft market in Delta, BC. It features dozens of vendors selling everything from candles and soaps to ornaments and clothing. The event is more than just a craft market. There’s a food truck on-site and a separate snack stand as well. It’s also where Santa and Mrs. Claus will be for photos!

A great thing about the market is that admission is by donation, and the photos with Santa are free! As an extra incentive, the first 250 people to arrive receive a free shopping bag to use at the market. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own bags too.

When and Where?

What to Expect

The North Delta Artisan and Gift Market is a group of local vendors that participates in various markets throughout Metro Vancouver. With close to 40 members, the group comes together to host the Holiday Craft Market once a year. Similar to other markets, vendors pay for table space and line the indoor venue. With the North Delta event, however, table fees benefit local school children. Proceeds go to the Sunshine Hills School PAC and the North Delta Rotary Starfish Backpack Program.

With about 36 vendors at the event, expect to see all sorts of products.

There are arts and crafts, apothecary products, cards, flowers, jewellery, painted wineglasses, holiday ornaments, decorations and gift packages, plus baked goods and so much more. New vendors featured this year are selling art, pottery creations, doll clothing and creative felted soaps. For the full list of vendors at the 2023 market, visit ndartmarket.ca.

Lunch is available at the event as well with the Pork Mafia food truck. Snacks are also on sale. Of course, lots of kids and young families will be lining up to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus. Bring your camera and snap some photos with the special guests!
