Evergreen Festival has been THE go-to place for your market dates this month and it’s one of our favourite places to do all of our holiday shopping. Along with supporting local businesses and brands, the market is filled with Insta-worthy displays and fun events to get you in the holiday spirit!
In the heart of Downtown Halifax, you can find this 4-week long winter wonderland down by the Halifax Waterfront. This will be the your one-stop shop to get everything from wellness and home products, food and baked goods, apparel, art, and more from locals and creators from Nova Scotia. This spot will also be the best location for taking some festive holiday photos with their numerous installations and decorations.
