  2. Warm Attie and Layers … Lot’s of Layers!!
    Vancouver’s fall/winter can be chilly, so be sure to bundle up. Layering is key, so consider
    wearing thermal tops, cozy sweaters, and a waterproof jacket. While the Market takes
    safety seriously with measures to prevent slipping, it’s always wise to wear suitable
    footwear for extra caution. Lastly, don’t forget a warm scarf, gloves, and a hat to keep
    the cold at bay.
  3. Reusable Bag
    Discover 90+ artisan huts at the Vancouver Christmas Market, filled with irresistible
    treasures. Don’t forget your reusable shopping bag – it’s not only practical but also aligns
    with our commitment to sustainability.
    As a green event, we’re reducing waste by offering only reusable tote bags for purchase
    at a nominal fee of $2.DID YOU KNOW? Every one of our food vendors exclusively uses biodegradable
    products!

    As an outdoor Market in Vancouver, we recommend bringing a compact umbrella in case
    a light drizzle decides to join the festivities.
    Don’t feel like carrying an umbrella? No worries! We offer umbrella rentals for your
    convenience. Grab one from our Info Hut for a small fee of $? during your visit and
    return it when you’re done. Our umbrellas even come with a playful slogan -?-, and you
