Christmas market season is one of the best times of year in Ottawa. From the big shows at Lansdowne and the Cohere Centre to church bazaars, school fundraisers and village markets in places like Carp, Manotick, Kars and Navan, there are dozens of chances to shop local and find gifts you won’t see in a mall.
Here’s my running list of Christmas craft fairs and markets across the City of Ottawa for 2026, in date order from November 13 through Christmas. Happy shopping — and if you know of a market I’ve missed, let me know and I’ll add it.
A quick note: this is a live-style list and event details can change. The information below was gathered as of November 10th 2026 — please check each organizer’s website before you head out to confirm dates, times and admission.
