Weekend Drive Markets

We began hosting markets in 2021 and they have been such a success that we make them an annual event. Watching shoppers and makers connect & build friendships has been an amazing experience for us and we are happy to offer this space for another season!

Our 2026 Summer Handmade Market will be Aug 9th and it is going to be a great one! Applications for the Summer market NOW OPEN

***The ONLY place we accepted applications is through this website, please be aware that scammers may post on event pages indicating that they can accept you into our (or any) markets, they cannot. All official information comes directly from our email account and our BRANDED Facebook/Instagram pages. DO NOT GIVE THOSE SCAMMERS YOUR MONEY***

Summer Handmade Market Aug 9th | 10:30 – 4:30

Weekend Drive Markets focus on quality over quantity and we carefully curate a group of vendors who demonstrate originality, craftsmanship and a keen sense of current design trends. Our vision is to provide an opportunity for makers from all over Saskatchewan to showcase their products while providing a unique market experience for shoppers. What makes Weekend Drive Markets unique is the sense of community among our vendors and the relaxed rural setting on a working market garden farm in the Qu’Appelle Valley. The farm draws visitors from all over Saskatchewan and abroad.

We look for high quality, contemporary products that are truly handmade & select vendors based on this criteria. Products must be handmade/original and use no more than 10% pre-made components (vintage & upcyclers excepted). We maintain a cap on number of artisans in any category in order to ensure the best sales possible for each artisan and range of selection for shoppers. ***Out of courtesy to fellow artisans, any deviation from application description or add on items made by another person will not be allowed and you will be asked to remove any such items. Additions MUST be approved by Weekend Drive Markets.*** APPLICATIONS Now OPEN. ****We leave the form online so that people can plan for the next market and see what we are looking for. This season we will host markets on Aug 9th, Oct 4th and Oct 24th. Please stay tuned for vendor applications for later dates.

We do not accept ‘kit crafts’, resellers or 3rd party marketers such as Epicure, Tupperware, Norwex, etc.

Vendors applying to sell/serve food and/or drink products must abide by Health + Safety standards for the province of SK and provide documentation of permits etc. **We are not currently accepting food truck applications.
