Considering joining us in the future?
Here are some reviews from previous vendors:
*Formerly known as the Blackfalds Market*
2021 - Present
CECE AND CO EXPRESSIONS says "Absolutely one of the best markets I have attended, being a first time vendor the way it was promoted and set up was absolutely amazing. The volunteers coming around so I didn't have to leave my booth empty or ask another vendor to watch was incredible. I will definitely want to attend again. Thank you so much for such a great weekend. "
A LITTLE FORKED UP says "This is the market standard ALL organizers should strive to attain. Great communication. Great floor plan. Great vendor selection. Easy access for set up take down. Great advertising FB, radio, signage etc. Market managers available and easily recognizable. Volunteers available for anything a vendor may need. This is hands down the best run and best organized market in Central Alberta. "
BATTER N BUNZ says "This was the first market I have attended with my company Batter N Bunz. I was so nervous walking in. But the layout, everything labeled, tables there, welcoming people it was amazing and instantly I felt relieved. I basically sold out both days and had better profits than I was anticipating. The market was busy all day. Volunteers walking around helping was wonderful. I am excited to attend more of your markets in the future!"
LILY & LACE says "We had the BEST time this weekend, connecting with customers and with other vendors. The organizers are extremely efficient and they put on the best market in central Alberta, dare I say all of Alberta. It is advertised so well, and we just love the variety and curation of vendors. We do exceedingly well at this market, and can't wait for the next ones! "
MISS LEE'S EVERYTHING SPICE says "Great attendance and a well organized event. "
MOON AND LOTUS says "This market is always packed full of smiles, laughs and great vendors. The event is very well organized, and very welcoming. "
MY LATEST OBSESSION says "Best market I have been a part of! Well organized and an amazing turn out! My favourite market to attend as a customer AND now a vendor!"
MYTH & MAGIC CREATIONS says "I have been to many markets over the years, and this one is by far the most organized, eventful one to date. It shows when the coordinators work for the market and the vendors and they definitely did! It was an amazing vendor experience, and my family, as shoppers said it was very well laid out and had an amazing shoppers vibe as well."
POCCOT says "Brilliant fun and friendly show for all levels of shoppers; the boutique flare at the Little of This' curation of makers creates a joyful atmosphere and the activities themed to the season are on point! My favourite local run show as a shopper even before I became a vendor and love it even more! "
PRAIRIE BUFFALO says "I love doing markets with Amanda, Lorissa & Jeremy. They are always supportive of their vendors and always available to answer any questions. I love having the volunteers there as well to give vendors time for bathroom breaks. They do a great job job of advertising and the markets are always well attended. Keep up the great work!! "
TA DESIGNS says "Great couple of days. Very well organized and communication was great. Will definitely go again"
THAT CRAFTY BRUNETTE says "This market was great! Amanda, Jeremy and Lorissa are all friendly and supportive. The thought and care that go into the layout is evident and the volunteers going round are super helpful. I left the spring market looking for the application for the fall market!"
THE RULE OF 3 says "It's been a few years since I could commit to markets and I was so excited when I had the opportunity to apply again. Amanda, Lorissa and Jeremy always do an amazing job, the whole event is always so thoughtfully curated down to every last detail. The markets are always high traffic, with a great atmosphere absolutely recommend to any vendor looking for a great community"
VON SLICK says "All their hard work shows. It's an absolute treat to attend one of their markets. From the communication, set up, all the volunteers and helpers it's one of the best, if not THE best markets in all of Alberta. Hats off the ALJ."
HEFE'S HOT HONEY says "We attended Little of This Market in Blackfalds this weekend and I can't tell you how impressed I am with the organization and managers of this market, not to mention the traffic . There were shoppers in there until the last minute and we sold even more Sunday than we did Saturday, which has never happened before.
Market Highlights:
Traffic - We do 70 markets a year & this is our 4th market this year with them, every single one is in our top 5 for profit (based on hours to sales). People come there to shop, I'm not in central ab to hear it but they do radio advertising to bring awareness and probably much more than that cause the people be showing up! There were people there from Calgary, Okotoks, and Cochrane
Vendor Perks - Get ready...There's a lot! There's always snacks, vendor pin, and a water bottle waiting at each booth when we arrive. They partner with a local animal rescue who provide a ton of volunteers to help vendors in a bunch of ways, they're always walking by offering to watch your booth to pee or restock. These Volunteers also offer to PROVIDE CHANGE, as a vendor with a full time job it can be a challenge to get to a bank for change before a market so this is such a treat to know you'll never run out. The xmas market had a Santa's workshop area for kids to buy gifts for their parents and get it wrapped, you could apply to submit items for $5 or $10, sales go back to the vendor and we almost made our table back in there! There's a contest for best table/booth display that is vendor nominated and voted, the prize being a free booth at an upcoming show which really ups each vendors aesthetic effort and overall experience for shoppers! They also give opportunities to be on radio ads etc which is great! All these little things make vending so much easier and make me, as a vendor feel valued and looked after
Communication & Advertising - Vendors highlights and constant posts leading up to the event, radio ads and much more locally. Market cash giveaways to get engagement on posts! Very clear payment deadlines that give you a bit of time (not 48 hours). Their Facebook group and emails provide a TON of information about parking, what to bring, timing, advertising etc. no questions are left unanswered.
Shopper Perks - Santa's workshop as noted above for this market but there's always fun stuff for the kiddos, giveaways every hour to get people to shop for longer and fill out slower hours, and there's always some sort of photo opportunity.
Community - The market is by donation of pets supplies or cash and they raised almost $10,000 for the rescue and more in supplies which feels great to be a part of!
Cons - none.
After writing all this I want to gatekeep it but that's not what I'm about and need to give this market the credit it deserves because it's truly a well oiled machine that delivers in every way "
AT HOME WITH CHIC & GRACE says "I've had the pleasure of attending several Little of This markets now, and each one reminds me why I keep coming back. Everything is so well organized from start to finish, making it a joy for both vendors and shoppers. The team behind the market truly goes above and beyond; you can tell they care about creating a welcoming, smooth, and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. As a vendor, I always feel supported and appreciated. Set-up is clear, communication is excellent, and the atmosphere they create is nothing short of wonderful. It's rare to find a market where you feel this valued, and they manage to do it every single time. I recommend Little of This to any vendor looking for a well-run, thoughtful market. I'm never disappointed, and I'm already looking forward to the next one."

POCCOT says "With over 30 years of experience as a business developer and consultant for both companies and artists; and now having my own label to take to tradeshows and markets Little of This won me over with their charm of curating a fantastic show full of creative quality vendors. The show is so well attended and they give attention to all the important components of pulling together a top notch event which the community literally says out loud at our booth “we love this show”. I couldn’t agree more!"
PRAIRIE ROSE PANTRY says "The hosts did an amazing job setting up all the booth spaces, organizing more than enough time for vendors to set up and tear down, and creating all the fun ideas for everyone of all ages to enjoy. I saw many happy families enjoying all that the market had to offer. As a solo vendor at my booth, I really appreciated the little snack bag along with a water, I also really appreciated the volunteers who came by so I could take a quick break throughout the day. You can really tell that the Little of This Market hosts take pride in these events and take alot of time preparing every last little detail that change the whole vibe of the market. They are also quick and ready to help out wherever they are needed. This is my first year doing markets as a small business - I have attended 3 Little of This Markets and I am always so happy, pleased and proud to be a vendor at their markets. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend! "

SLEEPY HOLLOW CERAMICS says "It was my pleasure to be apart of this event, not only is this a kick ass event as a vendor, but the experience as a shopper is magical. All the vendors have a wide range of high quality products shoppers gravitate to, the booths were engaging and beautiful. I loved the door prizes and it encourages shoppers to stay and linger at the market for longer.
As a vendor the advertising for the event is spectacular, everyone was very helpful and load in and out was easy.
Thank you again for this amazing event and I hope I can be apart of it again. "
DEEP CREEK BOTANICALS says "Huge thanks to Amanda, Lorissa and Jeremy for running one of the most organized and honestly pleasurable markets I have been to.

The market was busy with foot traffic and had amazing marketing and even had volunteers that made sure vendors could get a break or change if needed! They even raised money for a fantastic cause!"
BERRY BEAN CHOCOLATES says "This Fall market 2025 marked my 10th time as a vendor at Little of This Market, and it continues to be one of the most thoughtfully curated and welcoming markets I've been part of. Every event is so well organized, from the vendor selection to the setup, the decor, and the overall atmosphere. It's clear how much heart goes into making this market what it is. The community that comes out is just as special. Friendly, supportive, and genuinely engaged. I have had so many great conversations and connections here over the years.

CHERENE L COLBY says "This was the 1st time I had the pleasure of joining the Blackfalds fall market. I have to say my experience there was probably one of my most favorite experiences yet in 5 years of doing markets. The atmosphere was pleasant and positive. The organizers were very efficient and kind. The extra little perks that go along with this market such as the water bottle, snack bag and the vendor tag and more, set this market apart from the rest. On day 2 my daughter's boyfriend and friend volunteered to watch my table for me for the day as I had a family celebration of life to attend for a recently passed family member. Even they had an amazing time and really enjoyed themselves, which I think speaks highly to the atmosphere of the market. Even the simple addition of having a vendor designated bathroom made everything run smoother. I had a really great time and I hope to do it again in the days ahead. I also pretty much sold out of product so on the next one I'll have to be sure to bring more caramels. Thank you to the hard working and efficient organizers. You rock."

Here are some reviews from previous vendors:
*Formerly known as the Blackfalds Market*
2021 - Present
CECE AND CO EXPRESSIONS says "Absolutely one of the best markets I have attended, being a first time vendor the way it was promoted and set up was absolutely amazing. The volunteers coming around so I didn't have to leave my booth empty or ask another vendor to watch was incredible. I will definitely want to attend again. Thank you so much for such a great weekend. "
A LITTLE FORKED UP says "This is the market standard ALL organizers should strive to attain. Great communication. Great floor plan. Great vendor selection. Easy access for set up take down. Great advertising FB, radio, signage etc. Market managers available and easily recognizable. Volunteers available for anything a vendor may need. This is hands down the best run and best organized market in Central Alberta. "
BATTER N BUNZ says "This was the first market I have attended with my company Batter N Bunz. I was so nervous walking in. But the layout, everything labeled, tables there, welcoming people it was amazing and instantly I felt relieved. I basically sold out both days and had better profits than I was anticipating. The market was busy all day. Volunteers walking around helping was wonderful. I am excited to attend more of your markets in the future!"
LILY & LACE says "We had the BEST time this weekend, connecting with customers and with other vendors. The organizers are extremely efficient and they put on the best market in central Alberta, dare I say all of Alberta. It is advertised so well, and we just love the variety and curation of vendors. We do exceedingly well at this market, and can't wait for the next ones! "
MISS LEE'S EVERYTHING SPICE says "Great attendance and a well organized event. "
MOON AND LOTUS says "This market is always packed full of smiles, laughs and great vendors. The event is very well organized, and very welcoming. "
MY LATEST OBSESSION says "Best market I have been a part of! Well organized and an amazing turn out! My favourite market to attend as a customer AND now a vendor!"
MYTH & MAGIC CREATIONS says "I have been to many markets over the years, and this one is by far the most organized, eventful one to date. It shows when the coordinators work for the market and the vendors and they definitely did! It was an amazing vendor experience, and my family, as shoppers said it was very well laid out and had an amazing shoppers vibe as well."
POCCOT says "Brilliant fun and friendly show for all levels of shoppers; the boutique flare at the Little of This' curation of makers creates a joyful atmosphere and the activities themed to the season are on point! My favourite local run show as a shopper even before I became a vendor and love it even more! "
PRAIRIE BUFFALO says "I love doing markets with Amanda, Lorissa & Jeremy. They are always supportive of their vendors and always available to answer any questions. I love having the volunteers there as well to give vendors time for bathroom breaks. They do a great job job of advertising and the markets are always well attended. Keep up the great work!! "
TA DESIGNS says "Great couple of days. Very well organized and communication was great. Will definitely go again"
THAT CRAFTY BRUNETTE says "This market was great! Amanda, Jeremy and Lorissa are all friendly and supportive. The thought and care that go into the layout is evident and the volunteers going round are super helpful. I left the spring market looking for the application for the fall market!"

The markets are always high traffic, with a great atmosphere absolutely recommend to any vendor looking for a great community"
VON SLICK says "All their hard work shows. It's an absolute treat to attend one of their markets. From the communication, set up, all the volunteers and helpers it's one of the best, if not THE best markets in all of Alberta. Hats off the ALJ."
HEFE'S HOT HONEY says "We attended Little of This Market in Blackfalds this weekend and I can't tell you how impressed I am with the organization and managers of this market, not to mention the traffic . There were shoppers in there until the last minute and we sold even more Sunday than we did Saturday, which has never happened before.
Market Highlights:
Traffic - We do 70 markets a year & this is our 4th market this year with them, every single one is in our top 5 for profit (based on hours to sales). People come there to shop, I'm not in central ab to hear it but they do radio advertising to bring awareness and probably much more than that cause the people be showing up! There were people there from Calgary, Okotoks, and Cochrane
Vendor Perks - Get ready...There's a lot! There's always snacks, vendor pin, and a water bottle waiting at each booth when we arrive. They partner with a local animal rescue who provide a ton of volunteers to help vendors in a bunch of ways, they're always walking by offering to watch your booth to pee or restock. These Volunteers also offer to PROVIDE CHANGE, as a vendor with a full time job it can be a challenge to get to a bank for change before a market so this is such a treat to know you'll never run out. The xmas market had a Santa's workshop area for kids to buy gifts for their parents and get it wrapped, you could apply to submit items for $5 or $10, sales go back to the vendor and we almost made our table back in there! There's a contest for best table/booth display that is vendor nominated and voted, the prize being a free booth at an upcoming show which really ups each vendors aesthetic effort and overall experience for shoppers! They also give opportunities to be on radio ads etc which is great! All these little things make vending so much easier and make me, as a vendor feel valued and looked after
Communication & Advertising - Vendors highlights and constant posts leading up to the event, radio ads and much more locally. Market cash giveaways to get engagement on posts! Very clear payment deadlines that give you a bit of time (not 48 hours). Their Facebook group and emails provide a TON of information about parking, what to bring, timing, advertising etc. no questions are left unanswered.
Shopper Perks - Santa's workshop as noted above for this market but there's always fun stuff for the kiddos, giveaways every hour to get people to shop for longer and fill out slower hours, and there's always some sort of photo opportunity.
Community - The market is by donation of pets supplies or cash and they raised almost $10,000 for the rescue and more in supplies which feels great to be a part of!
Cons - none.
After writing all this I want to gatekeep it but that's not what I'm about and need to give this market the credit it deserves because it's truly a well oiled machine that delivers in every way "
AT HOME WITH CHIC & GRACE says "I've had the pleasure of attending several Little of This markets now, and each one reminds me why I keep coming back. Everything is so well organized from start to finish, making it a joy for both vendors and shoppers. The team behind the market truly goes above and beyond; you can tell they care about creating a welcoming, smooth, and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. As a vendor, I always feel supported and appreciated. Set-up is clear, communication is excellent, and the atmosphere they create is nothing short of wonderful.

I couldn’t agree more!"
PRAIRIE ROSE PANTRY says "The hosts did an amazing job setting up all the booth spaces, organizing more than enough time for vendors to set up and tear down, and creating all the fun ideas for everyone of all ages to enjoy. I saw many happy families enjoying all that the market had to offer. As a solo vendor at my booth, I really appreciated the little snack bag along with a water, I also really appreciated the volunteers who came by so I could take a quick break throughout the day. You can really tell that the Little of This Market hosts take pride in these events and take alot of time preparing every last little detail that change the whole vibe of the market. They are also quick and ready to help out wherever they are needed.

I loved the door prizes and it encourages shoppers to stay and linger at the market for longer.
As a vendor the advertising for the event is spectacular, everyone was very helpful and load in and out was easy.
Thank you again for this amazing event and I hope I can be apart of it again. "
DEEP CREEK BOTANICALS says "Huge thanks to Amanda, Lorissa and Jeremy for running one of the most organized and honestly pleasurable markets I have been to.

BERRY BEAN CHOCOLATES says "This Fall market 2025 marked my 10th time as a vendor at Little of This Market, and it continues to be one of the most thoughtfully curated and welcoming markets I've been part of. Every event is so well organized, from the vendor selection to the setup, the decor, and the overall atmosphere. It's clear how much heart goes into making this market what it is. The community that comes out is just as special. Friendly, supportive, and genuinely engaged. I have had so many great conversations and connections here over the years.

CHERENE L COLBY says "This was the 1st time I had the pleasure of joining the Blackfalds fall market. I have to say my experience there was probably one of my most favorite experiences yet in 5 years of doing markets. The atmosphere was pleasant and positive. The organizers were very efficient and kind. The extra little perks that go along with this market such as the water bottle, snack bag and the vendor tag and more, set this market apart from the rest. On day 2 my daughter's boyfriend and friend volunteered to watch my table for me for the day as I had a family celebration of life to attend for a recently passed family member. Even they had an amazing time and really enjoyed themselves, which I think speaks highly to the atmosphere of the market. Even the simple addition of having a vendor designated bathroom made everything run smoother. I had a really great time and I hope to do it again in the days ahead. I also pretty much sold out of product so on the next one I'll have to be sure to bring more caramels. Thank you to the hard working and efficient organizers. You rock."
