Dollard is putting a spotlight on the new Community Centre Building which is the showcase for their Holiday Fine Arts and Crafts Market. Spread out over 2 floors, you can wander the four rooms and ogle the Artists’ Association of Dollard’s annual exhibition too. Make sure you make it to the top to enjoy the view from the heated outdoor rooftop terrace.

Wend your way through the tables of goodies: leather jewelry and card cases, wooden bowls and boards, winter hats and gloves, chocolate, fur ponytail bands, crystals, pottery, pet bows and bowties (okay for humans too), mosaics, soap, paintings, small human sculptures, jewelry, wall sayings, Christmas decorations, baby gifts, button and bead art.

After you walk around the main level’s two rooms, don’t forget that hiding in the back is a windowed Craft Cafe for light snacks: healthy breads, coffee, sweets, soup and pizza. On the second level, follow your ears to the live music up here and peruse the two rooms. Then look for a staircase in the back of one of them which leads to the terrace.

Make sure to get a free ticket at the entrance to the ground floor space. This will entitle you to a hot or cold drink at a table on the landing of the upper floor near the door leading to the heated terrace. A

Admission to the Holiday Market and all events is free along with free parking and coat check
