For over 47 years, the Craft East Buyers’ Expo (formerly the Atlantic Craft Trade Show) has brought together exceptional craftspeople and giftware producers from across the Atlantic Provinces, attracting buyers from across Canada, the United States and international markets. Held annually in the spring in beautiful downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia, the trade show showcases a diverse collection of locally made products, including candles, clothing, food, glass, home décor, jewellery, leather, Indigenous crafts, paintings, paper, pottery, stone, wood and much more.

Jointly sponsored by the governments of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador, the expo features carefully juried products to ensure high standards of quality, originality and authentic Atlantic Canadian production. Open exclusively to trade buyers, Craft East highlights talented professional producers and distinctive products rarely found elsewhere. Buyers can also explore and order directly from registered Atlantic Canadian makers through the Craft East Virtual Marketplace, where creating a profile also provides the opportunity to register to attend the live event.
