INSPIRE AT THE ARTIST, CRAFTERS AND MAKERS MARKET
Manitoba’s amazing crafters and artisans fill our hearts and homes with inspiration. Holiday Alley welcomes you to share your talent, grow your business, and inspire. Our new and carefully juried local market could be the beginning of something great. Our Early Bird application process was a real success but we still have a few vendor spots left. Interested in applying for our mid-September jury selection, please email market@holidayalley.ca for an application form.
MANITOBA HYDRO WARM UP YOUR BELLY SOUP COOK-OFF
Some like it hot, some like it beety, some like it traditional. How about pickle? Your best soup recipe could make you the Soup Cook Off Champ. It’s all for a good cause – proceeds shared with Homes for All, a fund at the Selkirk and District Community Foundation. Download a Soup Cook-Off application form.
MAKE ALLEY ART
The name Holiday Alley was inspired by the alleys and passageways that lead from our side streets to the main drag. Imagine those alleys, the sidewalks and the entire street filled with light, art, sound and creativity. Join our Alley Way Funk team and turn an alley into your canvas or stage. info@holidayalley.ca
