Lorna and I both love all things art, handmade, and local, so when the local holiday market season is upon us we get pretty excited! I’ve rounded up all of the local markets in Kingston, Gananoque, Napanee, Lyndhurst, Bath, Glenburnie, and Westport that I could find. Apologies for missing the ones on November 4 & 5 – they start right up on the heels of Halloween. If we missed one that you’d like us to add, just contact me and let me know. Listed by location and chronologically below. Shop local and have fun discovering all of the artists, artisans, and small businesses that this amazing area offers!
As for my Amherst Island folks, the St. Paul’s Bazaar is at The Lodge on Amherst Island on November 18, 2023, 10am – 2pm and I do believe the Weasel & Easel and Rossland Gallery will be open on that day as well.
