Description
The Albion Holiday Craft Fair is a friendly, neighbourhood-sized market that fills Albion Community Centre in east Maple Ridge with local makers each November. It is a good chance to tick a few names off your gift list while supporting local artisans. Because it is close to home for many east Maple Ridge families, it has the easygoing feel of a community event rather than a big-city market, and it makes a pleasant start to the holiday season.
When and where
- Date: Sunday, November 15, 2026
- Hours: the fair has typically run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; please check hours before you go
- Location: Albion Community Centre, 24165 104 Ave., Maple Ridge
- Cost: free admission
What to expect
Expect tables of handmade goods from local artisans, with the kinds of items that make easy holiday gifts:
- Handmade crafts, jewellery and home décor
- Holiday decorations and seasonal gifts
- Baked goods and other treats
In past years the fair has drawn more than 100 vendors, along with food trucks and raffle baskets supporting local causes. Details for 2026 have not all been announced, so treat these as a guide to the fair's usual feel rather than a fixed program.
Getting there
Albion Community Centre is on 104 Avenue in the Albion neighbourhood of east Maple Ridge. In previous years there has been free on-site parking as well as street parking, and the building is wheelchair accessible. The area is also served by local TransLink buses; plan your trip with TransLink's trip planner.
Tips
- Arrive early for the best selection, especially of one-of-a-kind items.
- Bring cash as well as a card, since payment options vary by vendor.
- Bring a reusable tote for your finds.
- Make a day of it with a walk at nearby Kanaka Creek Regional Park.
- Because 2026 details such as the vendor list and food options are still to be confirmed, check the City of Maple Ridge website or the community centre before you set out.
- Wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers; the hall can get warm when it is busy.
