✨ A little update from behind the scenes at ABAZ!

It’s a busy time over here as we get ready for our upcoming Christmas markets AND start planning for 2027!

🎄 Burlington & Ancaster Christmas Markets

Both shows are currently full, but we’re still accepting applications for our wait lists! If you’re a maker interested in joining us, you’re welcome to apply through our website.

🌷 Spring 2027 Applications

We’re getting ready to open applications for our spring shows in early November! Want to be among the first to know? Join our Vendor Email List through our website so you don’t miss the announcement.

⚠️ Vendor Scam Alert

We’ve also added an important Vendor Scam Alert page to our website to help makers recognize fraudulent emails and payment requests. If you’re applying to markets, we encourage you to take a moment to read it.

🔗 You’ll find everything through the link in our bio!

Thanks for being part of our amazing maker community. ❤️

Oakville, you welcomed us with open arms! ❤️

What an incredible day for our very first Artisan Bazaar in Oakville.

Our vendors were amazing, the room looked absolutely beautiful, and we are so grateful to every single person who came through our doors - from the familiar faces who continue to support us show after show, to all the new shoppers we had the pleasure of welcoming for the first time.

Thank you for shopping small, supporting our makers and making our first Oakville show such a fabulous day.

We can’t wait to come back! ❤️

In the meantime, we’ll see you next in Burlington!

You can’t have a craft show without treats! 😋

At least, we don’t think you should.

Shopping is hard work, after all. And tucked in amongst all of the beautiful handmade finds this Saturday, you’ll find plenty of delicious reasons to treat yourself too.

From sweet treats and freshly baked goodies to unique snacks, chocolates and honey, these are just some of the tasty vendors joining us in Oakville.

Come for the handmade. Stay for the treats. Or come for the treats and stay for the handmade. We’re good either way.

📍 St. Volodymyr Event Centre, Oakville
📅 Saturday, September 26
⏰ 10 AM–4 PM

If you receive an unexpected email claiming to be from us:

❌ Don't complete application forms sent by email.
❌ Don't reply to the sender.
❌ Don't send payment.

✅ Contact us directly if you're unsure.

How to know it's really us:

• Applications are submitted only through our official website. We will never email you asking you to complete a different application form. (eg. jot form, google form)

• Official ABAZ communication comes only from the following email addresses—never from a Gmail address:

[email protected]

Invoices are sent via Invoice Home with the subject: Invoice # from The Artisan Bazaar / Carrie Wroot. We only accept e-transfers to [email protected].

If something doesn't seem right, please reach out before taking any action. We'd much rather answer a quick question than have one of our vendors fall victim to a scam.
