I’m Christiane, the organizer of this event and I look forward to working with you!

I’ve been operating this market for 10 years, a decade.  Going onto my second decade, I’ve decided to make some changes to the Christmas event to attract a larger spending crowd.  With last year’s record attendance of over 8,000, it’s time to ‘level’ up.

As the organizer of the 11th Annual Christmas Pop-Up Market and previous vendor, I am making a commitment to continue creating a curated and high-quality market experience for both exhibitors and attendees.  Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked with or connected with over 2,000 small businesses.  I’ve seen vendors set up and tear down.  Seen vendors succeed and fail and what that means for everyone involved in planning of shows.  Now going into my 11th year, I am changing the landscape moving into a new era; changing the criteria level for exhibitor participation in my shows.  🙂

I’m excited for the next 10 years.  Lots to come for the east end of Toronto. 🙂
