TGCA 2025 Craft Fair | vendor info & waitlist

Vendor registration is now closed and all tables are spoken for. Vendors may join the waitlist for this year’s Craft Fair above. Contact info for our vendor relations coordinator is at the bottom of this page. 

Calling all crafty folk and savvy entrepreneurs! The TGCA Craft Fair is one of the most beloved events of the year at the TGCA and once again we are offering both online registration, as well as in-person for this year’s market event.

The TGCA’s craft fair has been operating for decades, and our residents have come to anticipate this event as the unofficial kick-off to the holidays. It’s often called the Christmas Craft Sale, as it’s always been a great spot to find some gifts for loved ones before the holidays.

This is a 2-day market and typically very well attended. Our concession is open and offers meals, beverages and snacks, and the TGCA craft fair committee will be offering seasonal goodies in support of the 2025 TGCA Adopt-a-Family at a bake sale as well.

Prospective vendors please note: there are many scam accounts circulating on Facebook that pose as someone who will take your registration for this market event. The only way to register for this event it through the TGCA as outlined here. If you have been in contact with someone who claims to be taking registration, please report them to Calgary Police Services and proceed as directed. 

2025 Craft Fair dates/times

Friday, Nov. 14 | 5 pm – 9 pm & Saturday, Nov. 15 | 10 am – 3 pm

Items permitted for sale

The Craft Fair allows vendors of handmade, artisan and personally-crafted items only.

The following items are not permitted in the fair:

  • manufactured products (costume jewelry, clothing, toys, etc.)
  • multi-level marketing products (Scentsy, Avon, Tupperware, etc.)
  • home baked goods

If you register with these types of items, your fees will be refunded. If you are found to be selling these items at the fair, you will be asked to leave and will not receive a refund on your registration fees.

Table pricing, availability, location

Vendors have the choice of one or two 3’ x 6’ tables per vendor. Tables are $30 +tax each for both days of the market.

Both the Main Hall and the Thorncliffe Room (small hall) will be open with vendors this year.

If you have a special request (table location, access to a power outlet, etc.), please include that in the provided space on your registration form. All requests will be considered; however, none are guaranteed.

Fair vendor info

An email will be sent out to all registered vendors 2 weeks prior to the event with setup details/time and vendor guidelines. If you don’t have an email address, you must register in-person, and an info sheet will be provided to you at that time.

REGISTRATION OPTIONS

Vendors please note: you will be permitted to register for only yourself this year, so one or two tables per one vendor. This policy is to ensure tables are distributed in as fair a manner as possible. If you can’t register online or miss out, please join us for the in-person registration, or join the waitlist that will be posted on this page when online registration has concluded.
