Many of us associate craft fairs with Christmastime but in actual fact craft fairs happen around the year. So whether you are searching for a Valentine’s Day memento, a Spring decor item, or a summery splash of colour, you can be guaranteed to find hand-crafted treasures at these local craft fairs.
We keep our eyes peeled and our ears to the ground in an effort to locate all of the craft fairs happening throughout the year across Metro Vancouver. If we have missed one please send an email to vancouver@familyfuncanada.com and we will get our list updated faster than a snowflake melts.
