This Christmas, First and Last Chance invites you to capture the magic of the season with not one, but two festive craft shows at the Mary Winspear Centre! With over 80 curated exhibitors, both shows will feature the latest in fashion, home décor, unique gifts, and holiday wares. It’s the perfect way to spend time with family and friends, soaking up the seasonal atmosphere while checking off everyone on your shopping list-and maybe even finding a treat for yourself!

Exciting Giveaways
Be the lucky chosen one to receive a $200 Vendor Shopping Spree, with one giveaway happening each day or one of the many hourly gift bags give-a-ways, filled with special treats and handcrafted goodies from our talented vendors.

This year’s shows feature some of the finest handcrafted works from Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. Meet the talented artisans who are inspired by the beauty of the West Coast to create stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces. You’ll find everything from fashionable jewelry and luxurious body products to ceramics, woodwork, glasswork, and wearable art. Plus, indulge in local wines, spirits, and all sorts of delicious holiday treats.

More Than Shopping-An Experience
First and Last Chance isn’t just about shopping; it’s about community, creativity, and the spirit of the season. When you attend First and Last Chance, you’re not just finding the perfect gifts-you’re also supporting local artisans who pour their heart and soul into every creation. These talented makers take inspiration from the West Coast’s natural beauty, crafting pieces that are as unique as they are beautiful. Your support helps nurture local talent and keeps the tradition of handmade craftsmanship thriving in our community.

So, put on your shopping shoes, gather your friends and family, and join us at First and Last Chance-the ultimate way to celebrate the holidays!
