Fine Craft at Its Best.
November 13-15, 2026 | Pavilion 22, Halifax Seaport
Discover the extraordinary. Celebrate the handmade.
Craft Nova Scotia’s annual Designer Craft Show is back! Join us November 13-15 at Pavilion 22, Halifax Seaport for a weekend celebrating exceptional craftsmanship, creative vision, and the incredible talent of Nova Scotia’s craft community.
Featuring more than 65 talented makers, all juried members of Craft Nova Scotia, this is your opportunity to discover outstanding contemporary craft, meet the people behind the work, and find pieces that are as individual as the hands that made them.
Explore an inspiring range of handmade work, from jewellery, ceramics, glass, and textiles to wood, wearable art, and one-of-a-kind objects for your home. Whether you’re searching for a meaningful gift, adding to a collection, or simply looking to be inspired, you’ll find plenty to discover.
Every piece tells a story of skill, imagination, and dedication. Every purchase supports independent craftspeople and helps sustain a vibrant craft community here in Nova Scotia.
Discover the makers. Find something extraordinary. Celebrate fine craft at its best.
