Make It Vancouver will be at the this weekend PNE Forum for its largest handmade market yet! With over 250 artists from all over Canada, this is the perfect place to find gifts for everyone on your list. There will be stylish clothing, gorgeous jewelry, fabulous art, adorable baby items, gourmet food and even things for guys. Plus 10 food trucks and a beer garden, so you can plan to spend the entire day shopping and getting into the holiday spirit!

Make It got it’s start in Vancouver almost 5 years ago at the Roundhouse Community Centre with only 65 exhibitors. Since then the show has more than quadrupled in size, attracts well over 10,000 shoppers and has expanded to Edmonton. Crafters, makers and artists from all over Canada are flocking to Vancouver to become part of Make It.

The inspiration for Make It came when Jenna and Chandler wanted to create a platform for their peers to be able to sell their handmade items. “We wanted to organize a show that was fun, upbeat and acted as an incubator for up and coming artists. All our exhibitors are referred to as ‘Makies’ and it’s really cool to see the tight knit community Make It has established over the years. Everyone has a blast at the show too!” explains Chandler.

Supporting the community is also part of the Make It mandate, which is why they have partnered again with the Union Gospel Mission and Chimp (Charitable Impact). Money will be raised through a massive silent auction with items generously donated by Makies.
Make It is also excited about all it’s fabulous sponsors including The Georgia Straight, The Peak, Yelp, Square, car2go, Modo, Spool of Thread, MakerLABS, Bullfrog Power and Bird on a Wire.

If you love supporting Canadian makers and want to be a gift giving rockstar this holiday season, Make It Vancouver is the place to be November 28 – December 1, 2013
