Canadian artisans from coast to coast will be setting up shop at the Vancouver Convention Centre this week for the 2021 Circle Craft Christmas Market.

A Vancouver tradition for over 50 years, the event takes place from November 10 to 14 annually. Over 200 artisans are expected to take part, including clothing designers, potters, jewellers, metal and woodworkers, glass blowers, and candle and soap makers — just to name a few.
