For the third year, the 'Christmas at the Nation' holiday market will be held at the 7 Chiefs Sportsplex & Chief Jim Starlight Centre on Tsuut'ina Nation and this year's event will see the largest number of vendors to date.

Over 175 vendors have been confirmed for the three-day market, the most they have ever had. They will feature a wide array of Indigenous artwork ranging from beaders, bakers, painters, carpenters, jewelry, carvers, stained glass, leather goods, native craft, fashion designers and more.

The market runs from Friday Dec. 15 to Sunday, Dec. 17. There will also be photo opportunities with Santa and the occasional visits by the Grinch, an outdoor skating rink, free coffee and hot chocolate, and a performance by Juno-award winner Armond Duck Chief on Sunday at 2 p.m.

More information can be found on their website.
