2021 - Present
HILLORY HANSON says "One of the best markets in Alberta! Always busy and full of thoughtful touches like volunteers making change for us! Well planned well played!!"
CHELSEA ROSE says "A fantastic market. Very well organized and communicated. The turn out was amazing thanks to creative social media posts and radio ads. It was a great experience for myself as a vendor, and I would continue to participate in the Blackfalds markets again and again!"
LEE BROWN says "This is my first year attending markets as a vendor …by far the Blackfalds Fall market was the best organized market I have attended this year . From a well planned out floor plan , amazing communication to the vendors . Loved that they did so much advertising! As a vendor I would say this is a must attend market !!!
Lil’Ps Sweet Treats!!"
SHERRIE CHEALES-HAWKES says "The Blackfalds Fall Market is amazing! So well run and attended....fantastic vendors and the teens that helped in the Kids Carnival Zone we're just terrific! Can't wait until the Christmas Market in December . Candy Bouquets for any Occasion. "
CANDI RUSSELL says "This was a well organized market with great vendors (I did some shopping ) I liked the variety. This was my first time attending I had many new customers and repeat customers attend! Thank you. Bonny Seed Wreaths"
LAURIE GOULD WEISHAR says "Wow! Where do I start. The Blackfalds Fall Market was AMAZING! Fabulous customers (and lots of them) plus amazing vendors. A huge variety of products and I only had time to check out a few (nobody needs to know how many cookies I purchased lol). The organization team was fabulous, the little treat bags were a nice surprise. The organizers checked on us, volunteers were around numerous times to see if we needed change which was appreciated. They really look after their vendors and all at a very affordable price. The advertising was outstanding and the opportunities for advance promotion for the vendors was very much appreciated, you just don't see that very often. I will be looking forward to the opportunity to participate in future shows that's for sure. Thank you to everyone! StarlightSnacks"
JOHN OPYC says "The hardest working organizers around. It shows on how much work they put into it, by the amount of people that show up. Well run, well organized and managed. Hats off the ALJ on their efforts."
TAMMY L CANN says "I’ve done many many markets over the last 10 years. And this one was a wonderful surprise. The consistent attention from the coordinators, treat bags, take out menus (the Chinese food was fabulous!), the offer of change on a regular basis, the advertising, the attendance made it a amazing weekend! I would drive the 90 mins to do future markets with wonderful people! Thank you for the opportunity!!!!"
2018-2019
JOHN OPYC says "Fantastic !!! Very well run and organized. I heard there were over 2400 ppl that showed up. Plenty of advertising. I ran out of product, and so did my neighbor. Definitely worth it!"
HEIDI MIRANDER says "Crazy busy (as usual) line ups of customers waiting for it to open and the people just kept coming ... and buying!! We sold out even though we brought more then we did for the Spring Show. Lorissa, Amanda and Jeremy never disappoint."
AMY SCHMDT DESROCHES says "I’ve been part of their Fall market, outdoor summer markets, and Spring market back in April!! Hands down, best markets I’ve attended. Not only do I have fantastic sales, but the market is fantastically advertised!! Very well organized and the vendors are treated so well!!!"
REYNA GAIL EVERSON OLSON says "Amanda and Lorissa are the best!! It was epic! People trying to shop early and a giant line of people waiting to come in. Was steady flow of traffic all day. Almost always had someone shopping/looking in my booth. They did a ton of advertising..... they don't mess around. Extremely professional when dealing with issues or questions vendors have. Great draw. I swear the whole town was there at one point!"
BREANNE KRAUSE says "This was one of the best markets yet! We couldn’t believe how many people came through the door constantly all day. Definitely the busiest market we have ever attended. The organizers did and excellent job and exceeded all our expectations! We saw advertisements and heard the ads on the radio as well. All in all very pleased and looking forward to the Christmas Market!"
COLLEEN FONKALSRUD says "This was a great market! Well attended, well organized and the managers were very attentive. Will be tripling my stock for Christmas market."
BRITTANY BELICH says "This was a well planned, organized and advertised market. There was line ups to get in, steady flow of traffic and lots of sales! Will definitely be doing all of their markets in the future! Highly recommend!!!"
COURTNEY DAWN says "It was an awesome day! Huge rushes of people coming through all day long with steady flow. The 3 organizers are great people and have there own booths so they know what we vendors want. They live in the community and work hard to bring in the best ideas per market. This was one of our best markets in the last 3 years!"
LACEY KORNELSEN says "They hit it out of the park, for sure. I didn't even have a chance to look around myself until about five minutes before the end."
TODD WARNKE says "Yup exceeded expectations. Tight spaces but incredibly well organized, well advertised, and huge attendance."
LEANNE CAMPBELL BAILEY says "Huge congratulations to Amanda, Larissa and Jeremy at the Blackfalds Christmas Market this past weekend. Exceptionally well planned and organized event down to the smallest details - detailed receipts, welcome bags, strong presence on the floor. Attendance was about 3100 with something for everyone! The kids shopping area was a huge success, kept the kids busy and gave parents a chance to shop with out them! great variety of vendors, tons of professional looking signage."
PAULINE SIMPSON says "Lots of things for shoppers to do. Great space layout. Well curated vendor list. Bright and clean. Also great vendor compliance NOT parking in the parking lot."
ANN HICKMAN says "I agree! Thank you for a spectacular market and look forward to continuing to be part of your special markets! Huge kudos!"
DEBORAH MACLEAN says "Yes great show. Thank you so much Amanda, Lorissa and Jeremy."
