If this article has inspired you to hit the road, be sure to double-check that the featured stops in this post are still welcoming visitors.
When looking for the perfect gift for the holidays, the typical cookie-cutter, store-bought items don’t always do justice to the special person whom you are buying for. Thinking outside the box, and picking up a really unique gift goes much further in expressing your sentiments. Check out some of these great markets in Central Counties for a different shopping experience!
Orangeville
The Orangeville Town Hall will be abuzz this year with the return of the Orangeville Winter Market. Happening every other Saturday from November 7th to December 19th from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, the market will be a great way to interact personally with local markers and farmers, and to pick up some unique goods.
Located on the main floor atrium and upper floor mezzanine, the market will feature farm raised meats, local produce, baked goods, and exclusive handcrafted arts and crafts items. Perhaps you can think about preparing a basket full of goodies for the special people on your list? The Orangeville Winter Market is one to visit!
Oshawa
Located in Five Points Mall, the Count Down to Christmas Community Craft and Gift Show is back, on November 7th and 8th. Their intention is to bring together members of the community who are makers of different crafts – pottery, jewelry, wooden items, knit wear, candles, floral arrangement and more.
Giving local craftspeople a chance to showcase their products, and giving you a larger variety of gifts to choose from sounds like a pretty great experience! Head down to Oshawa and find unique gifts for everyone on your list and support local makers!
Stouffville
