Christmas is right around the corner. One of my favorite things to do is walk around a local Christmas market with a warm cup of something sweet. If you agree, check out these awesome Central Alberta Christmas Markets.
What constitutes Central Alberta? Between Edmonton and Calgary without including either. I’ve also included community shopping events because they are similar to a market and a great Christmas shopping experience.
This list has been put together from publicly available information. Please check with event/organizer pages before you travel to a market in case of changes in date, times or locations.
If you are the organizer for one of the events listed and you have more info for me, a lovely blurb I can use or information to make the listing more correct…drop me a comment or reach out to me via email or social media. If you know of one I’m missing, let me know and I’ll add it!
