Charlottetown Christmas Festival 25 Header Item 1

Thank you for joining us at the 9th annual Victorian Christmas Market!
We’ll see you again in November 2024.

Presented by the Confederation Court Mall, the Victorian Christmas Market is the largest open-air Christmas market of its kind in Atlantic Canada that brings artisans, food vendors, and crafters from across Prince Edward Island together in downtown Charlottetown. This signature event of the Charlottetown Christmas Festival features Whoville-inspired decor, the Mistletoe Market, the Indigenous Artisan Christmas Market, carollers, horse & wagon rides, live music, hot cocoa, fire pits, and plenty of chances to shop for locally-made goods this Christmas.
