Thank you for your interest in Picks and Giggles 2nd Holiday Market of 2023: taking place on November 26th 2023 in Oshawa at
Kingsway College! We got word early last week that a large Holiday Market at this venue was unexpectedly cancelled and had dozens of businesses reach out asking if we had more space at our original holiday market. We connect with the organizer of the cancelled event, as well as Kingsway and they both agreed to let us have this date. So this is why it's such a short turn around time to select participants. It's never fun hearing about a cancelled market, let alone in Q4 when so many businesses rely on this time for a large source of their annual income.
Please fill out the application form as completely as
possible. We're looking for a variety of unique and local, handcrafted
businesses/services.
*** Please note - this market will be 90% handmade -
with a few selected local businesses being accepted.

Picks
and Giggles is a well curated series of markets highlighting both
established and emerging handmade and design artisans in the fields of
jewelry, food, accessories, fashion, art, home and lifestyle goods and
services.
Our mission is to provide a place for the community to
experience and support creative small businesses that take pride in
locally produced goods or services, designed and/or made in Canada.
With this being a handmade market, spaces are limited for 'like' businesses as some categories are more
saturated than others. We want to offer our shoppers a wide range of products/services from your awesome
local businesses! Your application will be reviewed by our panel – this way, we can ensure that our customers
are exposed to a large variety of products all under one roof. The panel will review all applications, based on
quality of work, social media presence and market suitability.
