How to Plan a Toronto Holiday-Market Day

Planning a few markets in one day can save a lot of travel time. Toronto Art Crawl at The Bentway and the Toronto Stationery Show in Parkdale both take place on November 7 and are relatively close to each other. One Of A Kind is also nearby at Exhibition Place later in the month.

The Distillery Winter Village and Evergreen Brick Works are better treated as separate outings, especially if you want enough time to browse. Both can get busy, so visiting earlier or during quieter periods may make the experience easier.

Bring a reusable shopping bag, check the weather for outdoor events and save any tickets or confirmation emails before leaving home. Vendor lists and schedules can change, so always check the official event website before you go.

Before publishing, recheck the Distillery Winter Village for ticket prices, entry periods, hours and programming; Toronto Art Crawl for event hours; Wychwood Barns for admission details; and Evergreen Winter Market for its final schedule, vendor information and admission details.
