What an absolute gem of a pop-up shop! An unbelievable collection of local artists and makers. Products include everything under the sun: candles, ceramics, art, earrings, hot sauce, ornaments, clothing, stickers, baked goods, the list goes on. The organizers deserve immense praise for highlighting all of this local talent, uplifting artists and small businesses, fostering a great sense of community, and infusing joy and magic into downtown Kitchener. Everything about this shop is perfect. I will be doing all of my holiday shopping here.

I had such an amazing time at Vintage Fest! They had a great range of top tier vendors selling unique things, great music, cool displays and vintage cars on displays for photos. I can’t wait to return to the next one! I was really impressed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
