Cabin Radio’s guide to 2024 NWT holiday markets
As the weather begins to turn chilly, NWTers are starting to prepare for the most wonderful time of the year: holiday market season.
It may not yet be Halloween, but artisans and eager customers are already gearing up for the winter shopping season.
From one-of-a-kind art to uniquely northern crafts, markets across the territory are a great place to find the perfect holiday gift.
We’re keeping track of all the craft fairs and markets taking place across the NWT in the coming months. We’ll update this list as more events are scheduled. We’ve already found a good number of Yellowknife events being advertised and we’re keen to hear about events in other communities.
If you know of an event we’ve missed, send us an email with the date and time of the event, the venue, and a link to a webpage with more information if available.
