More details about the show

Spring is in the air and the Halifax Crafters Society is set to take flight into spring with 70 different crafters. Our annual spring market is being held on April 30 and May 1, from 11a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Olympic Centre in Halifax. Located at the corner of Hunter and Cunard streets, the Olympic Centre will be in bloom with unique handmade items.

“It’s a chance to buy something unique for mom,” says organizing committee member and artist Anne Pryde. “This is a fantastic opportunity to break away from the winter blahs, enjoy the bright warming atmosphere and support local businesses.”

Follow the screen-printed posters by Colleen MacIsaac of Little Foible to a gathering of craft and art.

You’ll find crafts in bloom upstairs and downstairs throughout the market. Flowers make books by Double Happiness and hair accessories by LouLouBell blossom, while driftwood birdhouses by Distinctive Garden Accents will make the birds sing. There are aprons by Schoolyard Studio to hold tools while breaking ground in the garden, and mugs by Bread and Butter Pottery for tea.

New food vendors Soup You Like and the Waffle Experience join returning favourites to provide tasty treats for shoppers.
