Support local by purchasing you xmas gifts at these fairs. Although slightly more pricier than what you will get at the monster super stores or international retail stores, but sometimes the quality is better and design is more attentive. Plus, these designers, artists, and artisans need a big break.
Nov. 30-Dec. 2 Souk @ SAT

This event happens every year, right before the holiday season begins to get your list of gifts started. I like to personally call this the Holt Renfrew of craft fair because the venue is as chic and cool as the participating designers and artists and their products. Several booths are repeated at the other fairs as well so if you can't catch them this time, you will catch them again. You will find handcrafted work ranging from jewelery, furniture, toys to jams. I love this venue, always beautifully admired.
A few notable items that caught my eye:

Smart Design Mart
This I'd call the Indie of craft fair. The venue is often in an industrial warehouse or factory, concrete floors, white rough walls and dirty windows. Unlike Puce Pop which I call the underground craft fair, literally underground usually in the church basement. Featuring artists, designers and vintage store owners, this mart is like Souk @ SAT where participants are curated and showcased for your eyes and wallet.
Dec 7 - 22
Salon Metiers D'ARts

I call the bigger, the Bay of craft fairs. Featuring a lot of different local small businesses and artisans. Often catering more for the older demographics of the province. There are a lot of Québecois flare.
