If you’re interested in a peek into the local arts and craft scene, the Toronto Artisan Market is the event for you. Hosted in parks across the city, the Toronto Artisan Market features some of the city’s finest artists and makers, offering all varieties of original items like ceramics, jewelry, skincare, and more. And did I mention that Toronto Artisan, the organization that hosts these markets, is a non-profit that organizes events to raise funds for local charities? You can drop in for free, shop in a beautiful park, and support both local artists and the community at large. It doesn’t get much better than that. Plus, if you can’t make it to the August market, there are other opportunities on September 8th, also at Trinity Bellwoods, and September 15th at Christie Pits.
