Let’s send this building off with the sweetest memories, surrounded with the greatest community ❤️
Such a bittersweet day. 🥹
Our final market happens today - Sunday December 14th from 10-5pm at the Oshawa Centre in the iconic old Sears building (upper level)
Live music performances today, and a visit from The Grinch.
This building has become like our home - a space for community to converse, connect, inspire, and create forever memories. While we’ve only had two years here, it’s been the greatest two years.
If you’re out and about today, stop by one last time to shop local and step foot one last time in this space 🏡
A huge thank you and a shout out to @picksandgiggles for organizing yet another year of the Classic Holiday Market at the @oshawacentre .
Bringing so many local vendors together over 4 weekends in a central location like the mall without the insanity of being IN the mall is no small feat and has honestly become my favourite way to get Christmas shopping done.
For those who have not been yet, the last day is tomorrow-go and check it out. To all the vendors who have been there, thank you for taking this leap and sharing your talents with us.

Sending this building off with the best memories, surrounded by the greatest community 🥹
If you haven’t heard the news, the old Sears building that we’ve had the privilege of using for our Classic Holiday Market for the past two years, is soon going to be no more. (We’ll share the article in our stories)
Come spend our final market weekend with us -
December 13th and 14th from 10-5 and explore close to 100 Canadian businesses. This weekend has a massive switch of new businesses to shop, if you’ve been previous weekends.
Along with new entertainment and special guest appearances - we invite you all to connect, mingle and enjoy the space one last time.
Admission is $5 at the doors, kids under 14 are free.
The entertainment schedule and list of businesses are posted on our website.
What a wild three markets it’s been so far, we cannot believe our last market weekend is so soon. 🥹🥹
So much love,
Claire, Mel & team P&G
