Craft Nova Scotia's Designer Craft Show is happy to announce the 2025 Designer Craft Show taking place at The Port of Halifax Pavilion 22. We are thrilled to be planning for a sell-out show again this year! With a festive atmosphere, beautiful crafts, and a varied range of talented designers and makers, this is an event you’ll want to be part of.

Always a popular show for vendors, our goal is to ensure we showcase the best in class and highest quality crafts and to create the most coveted of winter craft shows for both vendors and show goers. We’d like to have a show full of returning and new vendors in an effort to continue to support established businesses and foster emerging crafts makers.
