The Grinchmas Christmas Market is coming to Richmond. This will be the second official event by the Mom Market Collective, with the first official event taking place last month in Tsawwassen.
The Richmond event will happen at the Lulu Island Winery on Dec. 17 from 1 to 5 p.m. Attendees can participate in a gingerbread house decorating contest, meet the Grinch, and buy from local small businesses including Eva & Isla and New Love.
The main goal of the Mom Market Collective is to create opportunities for small local businesses to showcase their talents and help the community flourish.
“The Mom Market was founded in 2019 by two moms and started as an outlet to allow those in the small shop community to grow and promote their small businesses. Over the years, the collective has grown to support small businesses of all kinds and is proud to be able to bring the Mom Market experience to the Lower Mainland,” says Ashmita Arora, director of the Mom Market Collective Vancouver.
Many organizations were affected by the pandemic and had to use more creative solutions to keep their businesses afloat. The Mom Market Collective, like many other groups, held local markets online. As small businesses continue to navigate the pandemic, the Mom Market Collective has provided an opportunity for growth.
“More and more we hear about passion projects that have started from unfortunate pandemic circumstances. The Mom Market Collective has been able to create a space where small businesses, artists, and others continue to support each other and grow, by creating one-of-a-kind highly anticipated market events,” says Arora.
Planning and hosting events in the Lower Mainland is an exciting feeling with lots of things to consider.
“The planning takes a lot of love and dedication. What would help our small businesses be successful? What would our community enjoy? Being able to bring everyone together and seeing the genuine excitement on both ends as well as my vision for the event come to life is so empowering,” says Arora.
“The Mom Market Collective Vancouver has big plans for 2023. Some of our events include a St. Patrick’s Day market event with tons of family fun, a mind, body, and soul market event geared towards wellness in all forms—physical, mental, and spiritual—an Easter market with an egg hunt for kids, and many others.”
