About Dartmouth Handcrafters Craft Show
The Dartmouth Handcrafters Craft Show returns to the Zatzman Sportsplex on Wyse Road from November 13 to 15, 2026, welcoming more than 170 juried makers from across the province. Shoppers will browse pottery, woodwork, fibre arts, jewellery, preserves, and seasonal decor, all handmade and vetted by the Dartmouth Handcrafters Guild, the volunteer organization behind the show.
Around 5,000 shoppers are expected over the three days, making this one of Dartmouth's biggest holiday markets. Admission will be $6-$7 and parking at the Sportsplex is free; the venue sits a short ferry-and-bus ride from downtown Halifax. Pair a visit with holiday shopping at nearby Alderney Landing for a full day across the harbour.
