Are you headed to Burlington MADE this weekend? This Friday and Saturday, 60 talented artisans are gathering at McMaster’s Ron Joyce Centre for the third annual Burlington MADE Holiday Market. The semi-annual market is becoming known as one of the best curated markets in the region with an average vendor acceptance rate of 25%. In addition to handmade shopping, features of the event will include live music by Burlington artists Dan Taylor and Sarah Campbell Mills, children’s card-making provided by ActiveParents.ca, and a host of gourmet refreshment purveyors.
We intend to shop local as much as possible this holiday season, and discovering our region’s artisans is a fantastic way to score unique finds while encouraging our city’s economy. It also makes for great conversation at your office Secret Santa party.
