Get ready, New West — the holiday spirit is alive and well at Century House’s Christmas Craft & Bake Sale, happening Saturday, November 22, from 10 a.m. to noon!

This beloved community event is the perfect way to start your holiday shopping early while supporting local creativity. You’ll find handmade crafts, jewelry, art, and festive gifts from the talented Century House Activity Groups, including the Tuesday and Wednesday Crafters, Quilters, and CH Artists Group.

And for those with a sweet tooth, the Century Dragons bake table will be stacked with homemade treats and baked goodies — perfect for sharing (or keeping for yourself, we won’t judge!).

🎶 To top it off, enjoy live tunes from the Century House Ukulele Group, adding a joyful soundtrack to your shopping spree.

All proceeds support the Century House Association, helping fund local programs and activities that keep our community thriving.

📅 Saturday, November 22, 2025
🕙 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Come shop, smile, and celebrate the season with your New West neighbours! 🎁

The New West Farmers Market Holiday Market is back for two festive days on December 13 and 14, and organizers are looking for amazing volunteers to help make the magic happen!

It’s a fun, feel-good way to get involved in your community, meet wonderful people, and be part of one of New Westminster’s most beloved holiday traditions. Plus, you’ll get to soak in all the cozy, local holiday vibes while helping create a truly special market experience.
