The HMB Holiday Market and Kids Craft Fair embraces and encourages the creative entrepreneurial spirit of all ages. We love and support the unique roadstands and home-based businesses scattered throughout our rural community. We encourage kidpreneurs to learn about business basics, responsibility and how to take their ideas to build, create and sell. We aim to create a feeling of community and connection with the creative people and kids of Halfmoon Bay and the Sunshine Coast.
Come celebrate creativity, community, and the holiday spirit at the Halfmoon Bay Holiday Market and Kids Craft Fair on Friday, December 5th from 5:30 – 8PM.
