Get a head-start on your Christmas shopping at Goulbourn Museum’s Old-Fashioned Christmas & Outdoor Artisan Market. This annual holiday celebration features local artisans, baked goodies, old world entertainment and festive crafts.

PLEASE NOTE THERE IS A CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THIS YEAR’S EVENT. DUE TO EXTENSIVE RENOVATIONS AT THE MUSEUM THE EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE 350 METERS AWAY AT 2135 HUNTLEY ROAD (THE GOULBOURN MUNICIPAL BUILDING).

Vendors at this year’s event will be selling a diverse array of handmade gift items including heirloom preserves, baked goodies, natural soaps and candles, stained glass, children’s clothing, toys, pottery, woodwork, jewelry, textiles, dog treats and more!

Families can pose for a photo with Santa, pen letters to the North Pole with help from the Calligraphy Society of Ottawa, and try their hand at vintage holiday crafts. Enjoy free hot chocolate and apple cider, roast marshmallows by the fire, and buy warm comfort food from Pizza All’Antica for lunch!

Admission is free!
