MarketFest: In Peace and Friendship 2026

Thursday, March 26, 2026 | 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
One Market | 1 Market St., Brantford, Ont.

Following a successful debut in September 2024, MarketFest returns to transform One Market’s atrium into a dynamic marketplace curated by artist and Laurier alum Alanah Jewell (BA ’19) of Morningstar Designs. Browse a diverse selection of work by Indigenous artisans and entrepreneurs — from painted canvases to intricate beadwork — and enjoy live performances. Guests can also check out the newly launched MarketFest: In Peace and Friendship podcast.

The event is free and open to the public thanks to support from Laurier Brantford Grants, Laurier’s Strategic Initiatives Fund, the Margaret Stedman Brantford Endowment and the Ruth Stedman Brantford Endowment.
