Prospera Place is opening its doors once again for the highly anticipated holiday event, Craft Culture.
Shoppers are given the opportunity to find that perfect, one-of-a-kind gift for a friend or loved one. Entering its 4th year, the event features over 160 carefully selected artisans and crafters from BC and beyond, ranging from unique housewares to children’s toys. This is the one stop shop to enjoy the days leading up to the holidays, with family and friends.
“We aim to cater to all kinds of interests, hobbies and groups so that you can complete all of your holiday shopping in one place.” says event producer Karalyn Lockhart. “The event is an experience in itself where you can look through an assortment of beautiful, high quality, hand-made products, listen to the vendor’s stories, purchase that perfect gift and enjoy entertainment and live music, all under one roof.”
“It seems that now, more than ever, there is a shift in consumers placing value in the story and quality behind a product and meeting the individual who made it. We bring out the best selection of vendors in the region to make it easy and simple for people who care about supporting local businesses and who care about how the product was made, the love and care behind it. We create an experience for shoppers who want to bring back meaning in gift selecting and giving.”
