The 51st annual Christmas Craft Market returns in just over six weeks, and we cannot wait to open the doors!

From November 20 to 22, Chilliwack Heritage Park becomes a wonderland of handmade treasures, as artists, crafters, creators, and culinary artisans gather under one roof to bring a little extra magic to your season.

Friday, November 20: 2pm to 8pm
Saturday, November 21: 10am to 6pm
Sunday, November 22: 10am to 4pm

Wander the aisles at Chilliwack Heritage Park and find the gift no one else will think of. Sample something sweet, try on something handmade, and bring home a piece that makes your house feel like the holidays. Every purchase supports the makers in our community, and funds raised from the market go directly toward our programs, youth art scholarships, and local artists!

So round up your friends, tag your favourite shopping companion, and circle the weekend on your calendar!

Pour something cold, find a patch of sun, and read on. Read the full poem at chilliwackartscouncil.com/news/poet-laureate%3A-poem-1
