A free outdoor Christmas market with over 140 vendors and a DJ is coming to Toronto

Toronto, the holiday season is approaching, and that means the city will soon be filled with pop-up, themed bars and festive experiences. That being said, the first round of holiday fun is coming to the city this weekend, and it’s all happening under The Bentway. The annual Christmas Market by Toronto Art Crawl returns this Saturday, and here’s what to know.

Get ready to shop one-of-a-kind treasures, groove to live DJ beats, and nibble on tasty treats this Nov. 1, 2025.

What to expect

This free event isn’t your typical holiday market; expect over 140 talented Toronto artists and artisans showcasing their wares. You’ll discover everything from stunning art, photography, and sculptures to unique jewellery, fashion, home decor, and skincare.

Shopping isn’t the only thrill! DJ Kid Artik will be spinning all day, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself dancing through the options while you hunt for the perfect gift. Need a snack break? The market’s food vendors have you covered.

Whether you’re ready to embrace the holiday spirit or you’re simply looking to support local, this one-day event is the place to be.

Shop, snack, dance, and soak up the creativity of the city’s finest.

Toronto Art Crawl was founded in 2013 by local artist Nadia Lloyd. Its main goal has always been to create events and celebrate the city’s creative community by connecting artists with an art-loving crowd who support their work.

Since then, it has grown into a beloved Toronto experience, hosting five to seven events a year.

Mark your calendars and bring your friends. Get into the holiday spirit!
