Co-located at the new Halifax Convention Centre with the CanGift Atlantic Gift + Home Market, our wholesale trade show features the finest in candles, clothing, food, glass, home decor, jewellery, leather, metal, Indigenous art & craft, paintings, paper, pottery, stone, wood and much more all handcrafted in Atlantic Canada.

Toronto Gift + Home Market – January 2026

To further develop export markets for Atlantic Canadian craft producers, Craft Alliance will once again lead our CRAFT: Lab – Toronto Incubator Project to attend the Toronto Gift + Home Market trade show in January 2025. This will be a pan-Atlantic mission where Craft Alliance will lead the coordination and development of the project. The project will involve exhibitors from Atlantic Canada looking to expand their sales to Central and Western Canada. The Toronto Gift + Home Market is a wholesale trade show produced by the Canadian Gift Association and is held twice a year in Toronto, Ontario.

The pavilion showcase will accommodate 12 Atlantic Canadian craft producers will be selected to participate in a Pavilion Showcase at the Toronto Gift + Home Market in January 2025.  This project will fill quickly; contact Craft Alliance for instructions to apply.
