About Christmas on the Sissiboo Craft Market
Christmas on the Sissiboo is Weymouth's annual holiday celebration, and its centrepiece is a one-day craft market at St Mary's Bay Academy. The market gathers antique and collectible vendors, craftspeople and fine-craft exhibitors, and food booths - more than 25 vendors in all - making it one of the biggest single-day shopping stops on the province's western shore in the run-up to the holidays.
The celebration reaches beyond the academy doors: shops through Weymouth, the village on the Sissiboo River, join in with specials and promotions of their own. Coming a week into November, it is an early-planner's stop for Digby County holiday shopping - a chance to pick up handmade and vintage gifts the weekend before the villages light up for the season.
Pair the market visit with a drive along the Acadian Shores: Weymouth sits on the Evangeline Trail between Digby and Yarmouth, so the craft market slots easily into a fall weekend exploring the French-speaking villages, lighthouses and seafood stops of Nova Scotia's southwestern shore.
