It’s that time of the year again, when artisans across the NWT are selling their beadwork, carving, knitting, baking and more.

That’s right – it’s craft market season, baby! (Yes, it’s only just Thanksgiving. Make your peace with that.)

Whether you’re looking for a pair of fur mitts, one-of-a-kind earrings or some northern art, holiday markets are a great place to find it.

On this page you’ll find a list of markets and bazaars across the territory, though note this will not include holiday sales and promotions at businesses. We’ll add information about more events as we get it.

If we’re missing any holiday markets you know of, send us an email with details.
