Hello crafty people!

If you are a book-ish maker or artisan, we encourage you to apply for the next Bookworm’s Market on September 21st from 11am-5pm at The Parkdale Hall!

Entry will be free (no tickets this time as we’re in a bigger space!) but we will have VIP Tickets for sale closer to the event. Those tickets will include early shopping time, skip the line, a goodie bag, a voucher to spend at the market and other fun items from our partners!

We will be hosting a variety of book-themed events, workshops, etc. during the month leading up to the market on September 21. If you are interested in partnering, please let us know in the form below.

We are looking for workshops, author talks, poetry readings, drag performers, musical performances, etc. While these dates are not yet set in stone, we hope to have another Variety Night (separate from the market), workshops, a trivia night, and more!

Closest intersection: Queen/Roncesvalles.
