About This Event

Held at Toronto’s historic St. Lawrence Hall, this one-day market brought together artisans, collectors, and home bakers to raise funds for Croatian families and children left homeless by the war. With tables of crafts, antiques, artwork, and traditional baked goods, the event blended community warmth with purposeful giving — turning holiday shopping into direct humanitarian support.
