Hello Maker Pals!
Welcome to the 2026 Spring Handmade Market. We’re SO EXCITED for our first TWO DAY Spring market in our gorgeous venue, College Boreal.
You’ll find answers to most of your questions on this page. Gentle reminder: please read through all the details before sending us an email, and give us a few days to get back to you. As fellow makers/parents/humans, your understanding means the world to us!
A few changes to this year’s event:
TWO DAY option (yay!)
NO handmade haul: we will be putting together a door prize with MNC merch & other goodies.
NO swag bags: Don’t worry our marketing will still bring in the crowds!
We will be taking a group photo April 25th: time & location TBA!
Can’t wait to see you all soon & happy making!
Cheers, Tracy & Julieanne
