Now in its fourth year, Made Here's annual holiday event, Made for the Holidays: Local Market & Mingle, is a downtown Winnipeg celebration of local makers, small businesses and community connection.
Hosted at the Richardson Centre Concourse, the event brings together downtown professionals, holiday shoppers and community members for an afternoon of local shopping, food, music and interactive experiences.
The 2026 event will build on that momentum with more ways to discover Manitoba-made and Canadian-made products, connect with local entrepreneurs and create a lively holiday experience in the heart of downtown.
