About
A new holiday tradition for the mid-Island
Island Winter Market is brand new this year, organized by the team behind Nanaimo Christmas Village. Here's the story behind it.
Why we started this
Something new for the mid-Island
Nanaimo Christmas Village has grown into one of the Island's favourite holiday traditions. Island Winter Market is what comes next, a market of its own, built specifically for Lantzville and the surrounding community, right here on Central Vancouver Island.
This isn't Nanaimo Christmas Village moved to a new venue. The vendor lineup is curated specifically for Island Winter Market, and while a few names may show up at both markets, this is its own event with its own identity, its own weekend, and its own reasons to visit.
Curated, on purpose
20+ hand-selected vendors, chosen specifically for Island Winter Market.
Built for families
Kids get a free colouring page at the door, one more reason to make a day of it.
Giving back
Entry is free. A donation at the door is optional, half goes to our charity partner.
