Christmas Craft Fair at Vancouver’s Dunbar Community Centre

The Dunbar Holiday Craft Fair celebrates its 40th year in 2024. It features dozens of vendors, live entertainment and door prizes. The craft fair runs from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.

The event takes place at the Dunbar Community Centre at 4747 Dunbar Street. It’s located south of Kitsilano and east of the University of British Columbia.

Unlike craft fairs at many (but not all) other community centres around the Lower Mainland, you have to pay to shop at the event in Dunbar. Admission is $4 for tickets purchased in advance online, or $5 at the door. Children under the age of 12 get in for free.

As of early August, there aren’t too many details yet about what the 2024 fair will look like. You can expect a number of localvendors and plenty of people from the community shopping for Christmas gifts. It’s not the biggest market, but it’s still good to check out!
