How to Find Me

Spruce Meadows is a big site and the Market spreads across several buildings. It is genuinely confusing the first time. Here is the short version — screenshot this and you'll walk straight to me.

1. Drive to 18011 Spruce Meadows Way SW. Open it in Google Maps and let your phone do the work.
2. Park. General parking is free and included with your ticket — Lots #7 and #8 on the west side, Lot #2 on the east. There's a Market entrance on each side, so either works. Accessible parking is in Lots 7 and 8 with a valid permit.
3. Get inside and look for the EQUIPLEX. This is the step that trips people up. The Market runs across more than one building, so don't just follow the crowd — follow the signs to the Equiplex specifically, or ask any staff member or volunteer. They all know it.
4. Once you're in the Equiplex, find the Christmas tree. I'm just past it, at Booth E51. Same spot as last year.

If you get turned around, that's normal. Ask someone in a Spruce Meadows vest and say "Equiplex, booth E51" — they'll point you.

Spruce Meadows International Christmas Market 2026

This is my 9th year at the Market and the only in-person event I do all year. I'm a Spruce Meadows Exclusive, which is the tidy way of saying: this is the only place you'll find me in person this fall.

Four weekends, Friday through Sunday:

• November 13–15, 2026
• November 20–22, 2026
• November 27–29, 2026
• December 4–6, 2026

Tickets

Tickets are sold through the official Spruce Meadows page. Buy from the source — Showpass is their official ticketing partner, and third-party resale tickets may not scan at the gate. Popular days sell out, so buy early.

Planning Your Day

I've written the whole guide — accessibility, ride share, what to bring, what's new at the Market this year, and the pieces I'm bringing to the booth.

Can't Make It to the Market?

Every piece coming to Booth E51 is also live on the site — I've been photographing and listing since May so nobody has to choose between seeing something in person and being able to find it again.

Order and pick up. If you're in Calgary and would rather not wait on the post, order online and choose pickup. I'll send instructions for my grab-and-go mailbox so you can collect whenever it suits you.

Private shopping, December through Christmas. Once the show wraps on December 6, I open my bench for private in-person shopping right up to Christmas. One person or one small group at a time. Send me a note with a couple of days that work and I'll come back with a time.

Gift wrapping — box and card — is available at the booth and online, and gift messages are free.

See you at E51.
