# Crafter Sidekick

> Find upcoming craft fairs, holiday markets and shops selling local makers' work across Southern Ontario on one free map.

Crafter Sidekick is a free, searchable map of craft fairs, artisan markets, holiday markets and festivals across Southern Ontario, plus year-round shops that sell work by local makers.

Map: https://craftersidekick.com/

## For shoppers

See what's on over the next few months. Filter by date, event type and region, or search by town or venue. Turn on "Shops on map" to find stores that carry handmade goods all year.

## For makers and vendors

Events marked "Vendors wanted" link to the organizer's own vendor application. Shop listings explain how makers get stocked (consignment, shelf rental or co-op membership) and link to the shop's own application page where there is one.

## Where the listings come from

Listings are gathered from organizers' websites, municipal and tourism event calendars, business improvement areas and craft guilds. Each one is checked against the organizer's or shop's own page before it appears here. Dates and details can change, so confirm with the organizer before you go.

## Spot a mistake?

Open the listing on the map and choose "Information incorrect" or "Closed". Every report is reviewed by hand.

## Privacy

You can opt out with Google's [opt-out browser add-on](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) or by blocking cookies in your browser.

## Questions

### Where can I find craft fairs in Southern Ontario?

Crafter Sidekick maps upcoming craft fairs, artisan markets, holiday markets and festivals across Southern Ontario, from the GTA, Hamilton and Niagara to Waterloo Region, London, Ottawa and cottage country. Use the date filter (for example "This weekend") and the region filter to narrow the list.

### How do I become a vendor at a craft fair in Ontario?

Tick "Accepting vendors" to show events with a vendor application link. Each link goes to the organizer's own signup page, where they list booth fees, deadlines and jury requirements.

### Where can I sell my handmade products in a store in Ontario?

Open the Shops tab. It lists maker marketplaces, consignment shops, craft co-ops and gallery shops across Southern Ontario, with how each one takes on makers (consignment, monthly shelf rental or membership) and a link to apply where available.

### Is Crafter Sidekick free?

Yes. It is free for shoppers, makers and event organizers.

### How up to date are the listings?

Listings are reviewed regularly and events drop off the map once they end. Details can still change, so check the organizer's website before you go, and use the "Information incorrect" button if something is wrong.

## Guide: avoiding fake craft fair vendor scams

[Fake craft fair invitations: how to spot a vendor scam](https://craftersidekick.com/vendor-scams) (full text as Markdown: https://craftersidekick.com/vendor-scams.md)

- Scammers use the name of a real market, or invent one at a real venue, then sell booths by email, Facebook or Eventbrite.
- Most ask for an Interac e-Transfer, often to a free Gmail address built from the event's name. After you pay, they stop answering or ask for more.
- Before you pay, find the organizer's website yourself, apply only through it, and phone the venue to confirm the booking.
- If you have already paid, call your bank right away and report it to the [Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre](https://antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/) at 1-888-495-8501.
