Cambridge Holiday Market

Presented by TELUS

Please be aware that scammers have contacted small business owners via email, asking them to apply to be part of Winterfest’s Holiday Market with a link to a fake application. The City of Cambridge does not use Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, or other web-based email services for communication. The only way to apply to be part of the Cambridge Holiday Market is to use the link listed below. The City has contacted WRPS to alert them to this scam. If you have questions about your application please contact holidaymarket@cambridge.ca.

This award-winning holiday market has grown exponentially since its inception in 2012 and will be larger than ever in 2026. Last year nearly 7,000 visitors explored products from over 100 local artisans, crafters and makers over all floors of Cambridge Centre for the Arts and City Hall next door. 

This year, shoppers can enjoy free live entertainment, a holiday Cafe space and outdoor food vendors. Stop by Santas Workshop in the Centre for the Arts for an elf show and a picture with Santa! So many great choices for early Christmas shopping, start working on your list! 

The Fire Hall Museum, located at 56 Dickson Street next door to City Hall, will be open on Friday evening from 5:30 to 9 pm and on Saturday from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm - with fun and interesting toys, books, and gifts for the firefighters in your life! Free Admission.
