Glad Day's Queer Artist Market

Head over to Glad Day Lit on Lisgar Street for a weekend celebration of community and creativity at the Queer Artist Market. Spanning two days with over 30 distinct artists featured daily, this free-to-attend market is your ultimate destination for picking up one-of-a-kind art, zines, crafts, and handmade goods.

What to Expect Whether you are hunting for a unique print, custom jewelry, or textiles, the market brings together a diverse lineup of local 2SLGBTQ+ creators. Entry is completely free, though if you take a moment to RSVP online ahead of time, you'll be automatically entered into a draw to win a $25 spending voucher to use at the booths.

Making a Day of It Located in the heart of West Queen West, Glad Day is surrounded by incredible neighbourhood spots. Grab a coffee or bite nearby before diving into the market, or stick around the cafe space to browse their expansive collection of queer literature. It's a fantastic way to support local independent makers while spending a sunny late-summer afternoon in the neighbourhood.
