Fall For Local market returns to North Vancouver with 65-plus small businesses on deck

    1 of 2 2 of 2

      Fall For Local doesn’t market itself as an arts-and-crafts fair—or even a marker’s market, for that matter—and with good reason.

      Although the event features an assortment of handmade apparel, jewellery, and homewares, it’s small, hyperlocal businesses that Fall For Local aims to shine a spotlight with every edition. This fall’s function, taking place on September 9 and 10 at the Pipe Shop Building (115 Victory Ship Way, North Vancouver) is no exception.

      The pop-up market, once described by founder Kelly Turner as the “uncraft fair”, will showcase nearly 70 small businesses specializing in home, beauty, fashion, and edible goods. Among the products on hand will be all-natural hair products by Coast Beauty Co., beaded jewellery from Dorrit & Millie, and handstitched leather bags by Dig Leather Co.

      Hungry visitors can look to Coast Protein, producers of dairy- and gluten-free cricket protein bars and powders; Whisk Premium Matcha, makers of artisan matcha and high-end Japanese accessories designed for elevating the tea experience; and Moonbrew Tonic Co., purveyors of locally made jun, a good-for-you, kombuchalike bevvy, among others.

      Shoppers with pets will be happy to see pet-centric vendors such as Goodboy Collective and Howl & Home, both of whom make dog and cat accessories. Small business such as Il Fioraio Floral Design will also be onsite with services, as well as a men’s grooming area from Barber & Co. and a DIY station conducted by local artist Tessa Lee Designs.

      The first 50 shoppers through the door on each day will receive a free Fall For Local tote bag. Check out the full Fall For Local vendor list below.
