The Buzz

Always My Favourite Market
"I’ve been part of Tugboat Landing Artisan Market since it began in 2018, and it continues to be my favourite. I sell both handmade dog wear and jewellery, and this market has consistently been my top event for sales and genuine connection. The vendors are always thoughtfully selected, with such a high level of skill and creativity. It’s more than just a market—it’s a supportive, vibrant community I’m proud to be part of."

Jill Bartlett, Scouter Wear

Hidden Gem
“If you want to avoid the crowds of some holiday events, consider South Vancouver’s charming Tugboat
Landing Artisan Market with its 20 or so vendors and family-friendly Christmas vibe.”

It’s About Being Part Of A Family
“It’s not just about being part of the market or attending an event: it’s about being part of a family.
There’s a deep rooted sense of belonging that ties everyone together – from the local business owners to the shoppers and everyone in between.

 

It felt like I wasn’t just an outsider attending an event, but someone who was being invited into a tight-
knit community that genuinely cares about its members.


The level of encouragement and support I received was overwhelming in the most wonderful way. It
wasn’t just friendly smiles and polite gestures. It was a constant outpouring of love, inspiration and
mutual respect. People were so eager to share their stories, offer advice and celebrate each other’s
work. There was no sense of competition, only collaboration and genuine connection. I was genuinely
moved by the kindness and positivity that surrounded me, and it made my experience not just
memorable, but deeply meaningful.”
