NEXT EVENT: DEC 6, 2024 5:30 – 8PM
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.
Enjoy festive shopping, drink and fun – this is a free, fun, family event for our community.
Our Vendor Village will be a collaborative space shared by 2 groups – Main Vendors, and Youth Vendors.
We are looking for local Sunshine Coast kid creatives (7-13 yrs) – crafters, makers, and artists who want to sell their unique handmade products to join our Holiday Market! Youth Vendor Fee – $5.
We are looking for local Sunshine Coast crafters, bakers, food trucks, creatives and artists who are selling unique products to join our Holiday Market! Main Vendor Free – $20.

Last year we had kids from 6 different Sunshine Coast schools! Check out the creative kids from Halfmoon Bay Elementary, West Sechelt Elementary, Gibsons Elementary, Madeira Park Elementary, Pender Harbour Secondary and Chatelech Secondary.
Sip on festive Bubly sparkling water or hot chocolate while you browse, shop and meet the local artisans at the market.
