The Holiday Spirit in Ottawa Lives Here
Located in the Aberdeen Square while surrounded by snow-capped heritage buildings and wooden chalets is the Ottawa Christmas Market. Thousands of Christmas lights and decorations twinkle and sparkle to create that festive atmosphere that is accompanied by holiday entertainment, local flavours, and, of course, some holiday shopping!
50+ Vendors
We will have over 50 local vendors attending the Ottawa Christmas Market. There will be a wide range of shopping options available that includes holiday gifts, traditional Christmas themed items, unique food, and beverage options and much more!
Entertainment & Programming
In 2024, we expect to expand the market which includes more days, cabins, entertainment, and attractions. We will have a full schedule programming for all ages! Take in the holiday lights, decorations, music, and don’t forget to visit Santa!
Santa’s Workshop
For the fourth year in a row, we will be offering free crafts for kids in Santa’s Workshop. Santa’s workshop will also be home to Christmas Cocktails and Crafts! Grab your friends and enjoy craft making while enjoying local food and beverages.
Our Schedule
Supporting local
We help local businesses connect to customers during the busiest time of the year. In 2022 we had over 75,000 visitors from across Ontario and Western Quebec who engaged with 35+ amazing vendors, on-stage entertainment and, of course, visits with Santa.
We expect up to 100,000 visitors in 2023 with our expanded programming, more cabins for vendors and enhanced senses including lights, sounds, smells and tastes.
