Tips & Advice

  • Get in line before the doors open if you want a swag bag, since only the first 50 paid shoppers each day get one.
  • Buy your ticket online in advance, because every ticket bought online is entered to win handmade prize packs.
  • If crowds or noise bother you, come mid-afternoon, because Saturday and the mornings are the busiest and noisiest times.
  • Take the SkyTrain to Commercial–Broadway and walk about ten minutes, or catch the #20 bus, which stops right in front.
  • Bring the kids, since those 12 and under get in free and can explore the Mini Makers Area and the free DIY station.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New this year: the market runs over two weekends, with a second weekend on November 28–29
  • Free swag bags for the first 50 paid shoppers through the doors each day
  • Every ticket bought online is entered to win handmade prize packs
