The Clearspring Centre in Steinbach, Manitoba, is hosting a spring vendor fair this weekend on May 1 and May 2, 2026. Beginning at 10:00 a.m. each day, the event provides residents with an opportunity to shop from local makers, creators, and small businesses.
Located at 178 PTH 12 North Unit A, the Clearspring Centre serves as the only enclosed shopping centre in Eastern Manitoba. As Steinbach continues to grow as a regional economic hub, community leaders are focusing on the importance of keeping spending within the local area.
The Steinbach Chamber of Commerce has been active in promoting shop local initiatives, including campaigns to encourage the growth of young entrepreneurs. According to local economic data, shopping locally can put up to six times more of a consumer’s dollar back into the local economy compared to spending at non-local retailers.
This event also aligns with the provincial government’s Support Manitoba. Buy Local. campaign. The initiative was launched to encourage residents to support one another and strengthen the provincial economy amid broader trade uncertainty.
Steinbach currently serves as the regional shopping and service centre for a large area, with a retail trade reach of over 61,000 people. Residents can find more information about the city’s business landscape through the City of Steinbach.
