VENDOR APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED
NEXT EVENT: DEC 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.
We are accepting last minute applications for vendors to join us Dec 8th, 2023! Our Vendor Village will be a collaborative space shared by 2 groups – Main Vendors, and Youth Vendors.
Do you know a creative kid with big ideas? We are looking for local Sunshine Coast kid creatives (7-13 yrs) – crafters, makers, and artists who want to sell their unique handmade products. Youth Vendor Fee – $5 (includes table).
We are looking for local Sunshine Coast crafters, bakers, creatives and artists who are selling unique products to join our Holiday Market! Main Vendor Free – $20 (does not include table).

This year we have 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 Merry Berry Bublé sparkling water or hot chocolate & coffee while you browse, shop and meet the local artisans at the market. Pizza King will be there dishing up their delicious wood-fired pizza, too.

Thanks to the Sunshine Coast Credit Union for supporting our kids with Kidpreneur cash. Always love working with my favourite boss Wendy at the Halfmoon Bay – Chatelech Community School Association and Glen, our supportive principal at HMB Elementary School. Thank you to Jeni, our volunteer photographer, Erin at The Halfmoon Bay Fire Department, fundraising-extraordinaire Lee, Alex the bartender, and the volunteers who helped out on the night (Mr & Mrs Nibbles, and Lori). Thankful for the main vendors who join in our energy and support the entrepreneurship of all ages.
And the parents – who helped their kids get organized, craft, price, setup and sell their creations. Thank you.
