Description
The Oakdale Christmas Craft Fair is a cheerful neighbourhood market in Coquitlam's Oakdale area that has become a holiday tradition for local families. Held inside Greater Heights Learning Academy on Thompson Avenue, it gathers more than 60 vendors selling handmade crafts, gifts, decorations, baking and seasonal goodies, with plenty of options for teachers' gifts and stocking stuffers. Admission is free, and there are usually extras for kids such as free photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus and face painting, making it an easy outing with little ones. Because it is indoors and compact, it is a good choice for a quick, relaxed shop without the crowds of the larger malls and markets. Parking is limited around the school, so carpooling helps. The fair returns each year on a Saturday in late November, and in 2026 it takes place on Saturday, November 21 from 11 am to 4 pm. Follow the organizer's Facebook page for vendor previews and any updates.
