Jurying will commence the end of February 2005 and will continue until the show fills.

Applications are still being accepted in select categories (jewellery, pottery, candles/soaps and food categories are now filled for 2005).

The 2005 Christmas Market will be located under the sails at the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre and will take place from November 9 – 13, 2005.

We are seeking talented craftspeople to participate in this long-standing Vancouver tradition. Numbers will be restricted in the various craft categories and the overall size of the show will be limited in order to ensure participants every chance for financial success.


Entertainment, a wide range of unique craft specialties and demonstrations will create a colourful event with extensive public appeal.

As always, special emphasis will be placed on booth display. In addition to traditionally-draped booths, some areas of the show will provide participants the opportunity create innovative display spaces.

Please go to the Exhibitor Information page and read our exhibitor information, application procedure and link to our application form.

Jurying for our 2005 show will begin at the end of February and continue until the show is full which is usually by early Spring.

Some exhibitor comments from the 2003 Christmas Market:

"Very well run, organized show. Loved it!"

"This year I felt I was more prepared than ever, however, I was not prepared for the fabulous turnout. This was the best show ever in the 8 or so years that I have been doing Circle Craft. The organization has done a fantastic job of putting together a great show!"

In order to encourage new exhibitors, this year there will be a number of 5x10 foot booths available to those doing the show for the first time.
