How it started… swipe to see how it’s going!
It feels like we’ve all liked 5 different lives since then. are OG’s in the maker community - all 3 have been making and creating for over a dozen years… and all vendors at our first ever market in 2015.
They are still thriving because of you Ottawa, and a real testament to the power of resilience & creativity, and what is possible

Venue appreciation post! We have
11 years, 11 spring markets - and they just keep getting better. As a market producer, we can only do so much. Pick the right date & venue. Attract good applicants. Curate a banger lineup. Be a good organizer. And market & promote as best we can.
Then it’s up to you. The vendors that show up as their best brand ambassadors X the shoppers that show up ready to support local creative small businesses. And then sprinkle in a bit of good luck with the right weather & other factors.
This weekend, it all came together beautifully. And we couldn’t be more grateful.
But something bigger happened. I started to enjoy this again. After covid, this really wasn’t fun anymore. The uncertainty. The collective angst. The changing dynamics and how we did things. And just not knowing if people would show up really left me considering how many more I had in me. I’ve always said as long as makers & shoppers keep showing up, I’ll keep going. And this past weekend, we live to see another day
What a day so far! Ottawa understood the assignment. Keep supporting your local maker & creator gang.
This is year 11. And the power of keeping your dollars in your local economy continues to be as important as it was over a decade ago .cna .street
Quelle journée jusqu’à présent! Ottawa a parfaitement compris le message. Continuez de soutenir vos créateurs et artisans locaux.
C’est la 11e année. Et le fait de garder vos dollars dans l’économie locale est tout aussi important aujourd’hui qu’il y a plus de dix ans. ottawatourism ottawamakers shoplocal613 .cna .street
The hard work behind the scenes. The late nights. Missed social events. Dry, dirty hands. Creative misses. Creative wins. All culminate with each and every smile you see when you stop to chat and shop off our makers at the market.
