What To Do Around Vancouver This Week
Well we’ve already had our holiday party for my company as well as our office building party, so I’m fully into the holiday spirit. I’ve got a hot chocolate station ready to go for Friday, with boozy treats included and I’ve been quite spoiled with items being shipped for the gift guides I’m working on. My Gifts for Foodies should be up on BC Living very soon! Love doing that one! I’ve also even started my holiday shopping, but still have lots left to do, and the decorations aren’t even up yet at home. There’s a few markets I’ll be hitting up this weekend so I can cross a few things off my list, and lost of festive happenings as well! Here’s a few things to do this week! 
Shiny Fuzzy Muddy – Saturday, December 8 and Sunday, December 9
Go local at Shiny Fuzzy Muddy at Heritage hall at 3102 Main Street. This fare showcases Vancouver-based artists’ work from ceramics and jewelry to hats and handicrafts. Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Admission $4 Facebook/Shiny Fuzzy Muddy
Weirdos Holiday Market – Saturday, December 8 and Sunday, December 9
The Weirdos Holiday Market unites Vancouver’s most outlandish local artists and vendors to showcase an eclectic array of all things unusual, unique, and out of this world. This event will not be for those who gift chocolate hedgehogs and Starbucks gift cards. Last year’s inaugural Weirdo’s Market was attended by over 2,000 curious consumers, with many of the vendors selling out of product before the end of the weekend. With this year’s event space being bigger and better than ever, we are so excited to gather a new hand-curated selection of vibrant vendors slinging everything from witchy wares to anatomical curiosities, rogue taxidermy to collectibles, jewelry to textiles, one of a kind art, and so much more! This event will also offer a plethora of other amazing offerings, including tarot card readings, DJs, games, food, performances, a BAR (obviously), and more!Market Dates: Saturday, December 8th & Sunday, December 9th 2018 Market Location: THE HALL at 1739 Venables Street, Vancouver BC (4,000+ square ft. space) This Monkey’s Gone to Heaven
Got Craft? Holiday Edition – Saturday, December 8 and Sunday, December 9
Vancouver’s largest indie craft fair returns to East Vancouver with 80 handmade makers and small businesses.
