The Anishinabe Spiritual Centre (ASC) is proud to announce its 3rd Annual Christmas Indigenous Craft Fair, taking place on Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 3p.m. at 1091 Anderson Lake Road, just west of Espanola.
This festive event has quickly become a local favourite — bringing together Indigenous and non-Indigenous artisans, crafters, and community members for a day that celebrates creativity, culture, and the spirit of giving. Visitors will discover a wide variety of handmade gifts, traditional crafts, beadwork, woodwork, seasonal décor, and baked goods — all infused with the warmth and artistry of Northern Ontario’s creative community.
“The Christmas Indigenous Craft Fair is more than a marketplace,” said Eddie MacDonald Executive Director, Anishinabe Spiritual Centre. “It’s a celebration of sharing — a chance to honour Indigenous craftsmanship, build community connections, and support all local makers during the Christmas season.”
The event will feature:
• Over 18 local and regional vendors, including Indigenous artists and craftspeople
• Children’s activities and a Kids’ Corner
• Lunch and bake tables hosted by community volunteers
• A welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that reflects the true spirit of Christmas
The Anishinabe Spiritual Centre invites families, friends, and visitors from across the region to join in this unique holiday tradition that blends Indigenous culture, community spirit, and the joy of the season.
