Market Dates, Hours & Festive Highlights
In 2026 the market happens on weekends from November 20 to December 20. On Saturday, December 12, there is also the Winter Festival at UBC.
The Wesbrook Village Holiday Market runs on Fridays from 3:00 until 9:00 pm and on Saturdays and Sundays between 12:00 and 7:00 pm with live music scheduled throughout each weekend. Opening night features a tree-lighting ceremony at 6:00 pm, making it the perfect start to the holiday season.
Admission to the market is free, and guests can take advantage of up to two hours of complimentary parking.
Rotating Vendors & Local Artisans
One of the market’s standout features is its vendor lineup that changes daily. Shoppers will find a new combination of artists, makers, and small businesses every time they visit. The market offers a wide range of products, from handcrafted décor and jewelry to baked goods and seasonal treats. Each day feels like a fresh market experience as it’s not the exact same vendors in the exact same locations every time.
Entertainment and Social Areas
Each day of the market features live music in the afternoon or early evening. On Fridays there are performances from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. On Saturdays and Sundays there’s music between 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm. In addition, Santa comes by to visit on Sundays from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm!
There are public seating areas set up at the market for visitors to use while they enjoy the food, drinks and music on offer. There are also fire pits to add to the holiday vibe and make the market an even more enjoyable place to hang out.
