It’s that time of year again — when local halls, churches, and bakeries transform into festive marketplaces filled with holiday cheer. From handmade crafts to home baking, these annual fairs are a cherished way to connect with neighbours and support local causes.

Celebrating 75 years, the Holly Berry Fair at Rosedale United Church is one of Toronto’s oldest community fairs. The weekend event offers festive shopping, live entertainment, and activities for all ages.

Be sure to stop by for the deli lunch (Saturday will feature home-cooked ham!) and home baking.
100% of proceeds from the fair support the Out of the Cold food security program in downtown Toronto — helping provide meals and support to those in need during the winter months. See details for the Holly Berry Fair →
