Francophone Christmas Market (Marché de Noël) 2026 at Le Centre culturel, December 5

For one Saturday in December, Le Centre culturel francophone de Vancouver turns its Studio 16 space in Fairview into a French-style Christmas market. About twenty local Francophone makers sell ceramics, jewellery, food and gifts. There are crêpes and mulled wine, a gospel choir, face painting for kids and a Christmas storytime. You don’t need to speak French: it’s open to everyone.

The Marché de Noël is Saturday, December 5, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and it’s free.
