Holiday vendor market, bake sale fundraiser & food drive
For many in Thorncliffe & Greenview, the official start to the holidays is the TGCA Craft Fair, and as usual we’ve got some great event highlights to get you into the spirit – along with the holiday vendor market, there’s a bake sale and a food drive for the Calgary Food Bank too. Find unique items, your favourite vendors, and cross some of those names off your list this November!
Nov. 13, 5 – 9 pm & Nov. 14, 10 am – 3 pm
Over 100 vendors, concession open, bake sale, full-service restaurant on site, fully accessible on the SW side of the building.
Free admission – all visitors are encouraged to bring a non-perishable donation for the Calgary Food Bank. Boxes will be located throughout the lobby.
Look forward to handmade goods and artisan products of all sorts at this much-beloved annual event. Greeting cards, ornaments, crocheted toys and garments, jewelry, kitchenware, décor items, gifts for pets, stocking stuffers and much more! This market has been operating for decades and we are proud to support crafters and artists in the community. You won’t find mass-produced or pyramid/MLM products at this market.
The bake sale to benefit the annual TGCA Holiday Adopt-a-Family is a very popular feature of the fair. Enjoy seasonal baked goods prepared in the community and feel good about supporting local families in need this holiday season. We’re looking for volunteer bakers, and the sign-up form will be open on Oct. 13, so look for that announcement!
Look forward to drinks, warm snacks and treats at our concession or have a delicious and sensibly priced meal in The 56 Restaurant on the lower floor of the south building.
The local Guides troop will be selling their cookies too, so make sure and stop by their table in the main lobby.
The event is in the TGCA main hall & Thorncliffe Room in the south building, parking in the east and south parking lots. 5600 Centre St N. Enter from either Centre St. or 56th Ave.
Disability parking and ramp by the main hall lobby doors on the southwest side on the centre.
