This list of Kelowna’s Craft Markets is ongoing and continuously updated. If you are hosting a market, virtually or physically this year please let me know and I will add you. We are all in this together and I firmly believe in supporting my community during these unprecedented times.
Here in Kelowna we have so many markets to help you support local artisans, crafters and small local businesses. Manoeuvre through them all with this continuously updated guide so you can shop local and support local no matter the season!
