We truly enjoyed our last experience at the Ottawa Christmas Market and are excited to return as vendor again this year. The event was brilliantly organised, great structure to each day- and excellent communication throughout. The OCM team had been a fantastic one to work with. They were very responsive and work together with their vendors to ensure everything comes together seamlessly

We’re very excited to be a part of OCM 2024. Each year there’s more and more vendors offering amazing and unique products. This season is looking to be the biggest and best one yet! The live entertainment and décor sets the perfect Christmas market vibe that keeps people coming back week after week. Looking forward to serving you all up some delicious boozy bevvies! Fireball shots anyone?

Last Christmas was our first time setting up shop at the Ottawa Christmas Market, and wow, what an experience! As a small business, it was the biggest event we’d ever done, and honestly, we had no idea what to expect. From the moment we got accepted, everything just felt amazing. The Lansdowne team was super friendly, approachable, and always ready to help whenever we needed anything.
