The Winter Gathering is making headlines as we count down to November 7 & 8.
There’s something special about opening the local newspaper and seeing an event you’ve poured your heart into looking right back at you. Seeing it in two different spots? Well, that deserves a little happy dance!
The 2nd Annual Winter Gathering has appeared in the Prince George Citizen, with both our event advertisement and a mention in the community events listings. With our market weekend almost here, we’re excited to see the word spreading and to welcome everyone through the doors.
A big thank you to the Prince George Citizen for helping our community discover what’s happening close to home.
Behind Every Table Is a Small Business Story
When you walk into a market, you see the finished displays: carefully arranged products, handcrafted pieces, and vendors ready to welcome you. What you don’t always see are the weeks of preparation behind them.
The late nights spent making just a few more items. The packaging, pricing, packing, and repacking. The kitchen tables that temporarily disappear under supplies. And the excitement of finally sharing something you’ve worked so hard to create.
The Winter Gathering brings those small business stories together under one roof. It’s a chance to meet the people behind the products, ask about their work, and find gifts with a personal connection.
Every purchase means something to the person on the other side of that table. So does stopping to chat, following their business page, or telling a friend about something you loved.
A Little Holiday Shopping, a Little Treating Yourself
Whether you’re getting an early start on Christmas shopping or simply looking for a lovely way to spend part of your weekend, we’d love to have you join us.
Explore handcrafted gifts, artisan creations, and unique local finds in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Bring your gift list, browse at your own pace, and enjoy discovering what our vendors have been busy preparing.
And if something happens to come home as a gift to yourself? We fully support that decision. Consider it a reward for being so thoughtful about everyone else.
With free admission and a family-friendly setting, you can bring your shopping crew, invite a neighbour, or make it a family outing.
Don’t Forget Our Winner Takes All Gift Basket!
Our Winner Takes All vendor-donated prize collection adds another reason to get excited about the weekend.
We’re grateful to the participating vendors who have contributed items from their businesses. Their generosity helps make this part of The Winter Gathering special while giving visitors another glimpse of the talent and variety within our local small business community.
Be sure to check it out when you visit!
