SheMarket is Happening This May in Vancouver
Dates: Saturday & Sunday, May 10–11, 2025 Place: Roundhouse Community Centre, Vancouver
This Mother’s Day, let’s do something a little different. Let’s skip the usual gifts and pick out something that actually feels special. SheMarket is back, and it’s full of amazing women who make things with their hands, their hearts, and a whole lot of care.
These are not big brands or chain stores. These are real women from right here in Vancouver. Some are moms. Some are students. Some quit their jobs to follow a dream. They’re all working hard to bring you handmade treasures that you won’t find anywhere else.
Whether you want to grab something for your mom, your sister, your friend, or just treat yourself, this is the place to do it.
Why You’ll Love SheMarket
1. It's More Than Just Shopping
When you buy something here, you’re helping a woman grow her small business. You’re not putting money into a giant company. You’re helping someone pay for her kid’s dance class or buy more supplies for her craft. You’re making a real difference in someone’s life.
2. Perfect Timing for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is about love, care, and kindness. What better way to show that than with a thoughtful, handmade gift? These aren’t random things off a shelf. Every item here has a little story behind it — and a lot of heart.
3. One-of-a-Kind Goodies
Looking for something that no one else has? This is your place. From earrings made with real flowers to cozy candles and cute cards, everything at SheMarket is made by someone local. No two items are the same.
You’ll see all kinds of stuff like:
- Hand-painted art
- Jewelry made with care
- Soaps and skincare made from natural stuff
- Cute clothes and bags
- Sweet treats and snacks
- Home stuff that actually makes you smile
And much more. If you like browsing and finding cool things, you’ll be happy here.
4. You’ll Feel Good Just Being There
The vibe at SheMarket is super warm and friendly. The women at the booths are happy to chat. You can ask them how they got started, what their stuff is made of, and even how long it took to make something. Everyone is kind and down-to-earth.
This isn’t one of those loud and busy events where you feel rushed. You can take your time, look around, sip on something warm, and enjoy the day.
What’s Happening at the Event?
✅ Lots of local sellers: Walk around and meet over 50 female-run small businesses. Every table has something different. You’ll probably meet the person who made the thing you’re buying — how cool is that?
✅ Great vibes and good energy: Everyone here is here to cheer each other on. It’s not just about money or sales. It’s about good people coming together.
✅ A better kind of gift: Let’s be honest — how many times have you given or gotten a gift that just felt… blah? Not this time. These gifts feel thoughtful. They feel right.
Want to Join In?
If you’re a woman who runs a small business and wants to show your stuff, give Fereshteh a call at 236-989-5588. She’s super friendly and can walk you through everything.
Whether you’re new to selling or you’ve been doing it for years, this is a good place to be seen, meet new customers, and make new friends.
Bring Your Mom, Your Friend, or Just Yourself
You don’t need to know anyone or bring a crowd. Come solo or bring a friend — either way, you’ll feel welcome. There’s something really nice about being in a room full of women just doing their thing.
Even if you don’t plan on buying much, just being there means a lot. Your smile, your kind words, your time — it all matters. It tells these women that what they’re doing is worth it.
So Here’s the Plan:
Save the Dates: Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11, 2025
Come to: Roundhouse Community Centre, Vancouver
Bring: Your wallet, your curiosity, and your good vibes.
Leave with: A few beautiful things and a heart full of joy.
Just One More Thing
SheMarket is more than a market. It’s a reminder that small things matter. That dreams are worth chasing. And that handmade means something.
So come on by. Find something lovely. Say hi to a local maker. And feel proud that you showed up for women who are putting their work out into the world.
It’s going to be a great weekend.
