Dec 2014 – Present

Our first inaugural Christmas market took place in Leslieville on December 6-7, 2014, at a charming boutique called The Vandenberg House. Initially featuring just 11 vendors, we focused on offering a diverse and high-quality selection. Now, as we enter our 11th year, we proudly showcase 50 artisan small businesses and host thousands of attendees.

This year 2024, we’re excited to present a weekend filled with festive features, including a complimentary deluxe hot chocolate bar, visits from Santa, and plenty of photo ops. Guests can explore a market of artisan-prepared foods, enjoy a DJ spinning the best of the ’80s and ’90s, and indulge in holiday cocktails at our bar, along with a variety of food vendors.

Since 2014, we’ve collaborated with development partners to host this cherished event in the same neighborhood. We can’t wait for the next market in 2024—stay tuned for more updates!

2016 – Present

A 2 day festival hosting and highlighting Leslieville’s food and drink new summer gourmet menus.  It’s a weekend of tastings of local beers, cuisine, local Ontario wines and local music.

2017 & 2018

Taking over 40,000 square feet on Woodbine Beach, the Toronto Beaches Festival was a 2 year beach pop-up celebrating summer and local Toronto food, drink and artisans.  The day long event had lots of outdoor activities: music-dancing, lounging, chefs, yoga, drinks, games, insta moments, shopping, and massages.  It was a great time in the sun on the beach!  We hope to host these in the future.

2015 SUMMER SERIES

Once we opened our doors on the eastside, we held our first series of summer pop-ups monthly.  We held the markets outdoor and themed each event which lead to a great start on the Eastside and growing our trusted customers.   The theme events catered to sports, fashion, mom-preneurs, wellness and baby.
