Gathering of Makers 2026
Four Markets. One Community. Connecting culture, artisans, and the land at Prudhommes.
About the 2026 Market Series
Just a few words
Gathering of Makers is a four-market Indigenous artisan series held outdoors at Prudhommes Antique Market in Jordan Station. Each market celebrates culture, creativity, and community while showcasing the work of Indigenous makers from across the region. Vendors bring beadwork, ribbon skirts, crafts, artwork, tools, foods, teachings, and more.
This event series is about connection — to the land, to each other, and to the ancestors who passed these gifts down. Every market is an opportunity for visitors to learn, support Indigenous businesses, and experience culture in a good way.
