✨ A Classic Holiday Homecoming

There’s a moment we all remember – that feeling of stepping into the holidays. Maybe it was walking through the front door to the smell of something warm in the oven, or bundling up for the annual trip to Toronto to admire the Eaton Centre windows glowing with colour and wonder. Those scenes – those sparkles of nostalgia – are the heartbeat of the season.
This year, we’re bringing that feeling to life with our Holly Jolly theme: A Classic Holiday Homecoming.

As you enter our Market, you’ll be wrapped in the comfort of tradition and the excitement of discovery. Our vendors embody the season with thoughtful gifts, hosting favourites, and handmade treasures crafted to be enjoyed, tucked away, or shared with pride.

For 2026, we are returning exclusively to our home at the historic Crystal Palace in Picton.

Come home to the holidays with us. We look forward to welcoming you!

Crystal Palace | 375 Main Street, Picton, ON


Stepping into the historic Crystal Palace is like walking directly into a holiday postcard. Built in 1887 on the Prince Edward County Fairgrounds, this beloved landmark—with its soaring timber arches, natural wood floors, and walls of glass—provides a nostalgic backdrop for our Classic Holiday Homecoming. There is truly no place quite like it to gather and celebrate the magic of the season.
