Vancouver spring craft market is bringing a weekend of curated and handmade shopping

Spring has sprung, and that means it’s about to get crafty in Vancouver! Returning to the city for its 19th year, the Got Craft Spring Market is coming to the Croatian Cultural Centre from Saturday, May 2, to Sunday, May 3.

The market will bring together over 100 makers, designers, and small businesses for a weekend of local shopping.

We’re talking a whole host of handmade goods from skilled artisans and creative entrepreneurs, including jewelry, clothing, ceramics, paper arts, homewares, and food and drink.

There’s also lots of interactive programming to enjoy at Got Craft! Stop by the Mini Makers Series on Saturday to meet and see the work from local kid entrepreneurs. On Sunday, check out the free, do-it-yourself Graphic Novel Book Club to make your own craft. For readers, the Secret Society of Books mobile bookshop will also be on-site.

Don’t forget to enjoy some delicious bites at the food truck area, where I Heart Souvlaki and Indish will be dishing out yummy snacks. Food can also be purchased from market retailers like Bak’d Cookies, Casa de Nata, and Slothee Coffee. 

Even more exciting, the first 50 people through the Got Craft doors will receive a free, limited-edition swag bag.
