Residents of Selkirk, Manitoba, will have a chance to buy unique local items at the DnR Markets Spring Gift & Craft Market on Saturday, May 9, 2026 — the Saturday before Mother’s Day. The one-day market is organized by DnR Markets and hosted at the Selkirk Friendship Centre (425 Eveline Street).
The curated sale follows a growing Manitoba trend toward “handmade-only” markets, highlighted by Travel Manitoba, that emphasize products made by local artisans rather than mass-produced or direct-sales goods. Shoppers can expect vendors such as woodworkers, jewellery makers and textile artists instead of third-party distributors.
The Selkirk Friendship Centre, established in 1967, has a long history as a community hub and frequently hosts markets and fundraisers. Organizers say the market aims to keep sales local and provide a place for artisans who do not have a permanent storefront to sell their work.
The event also aligns with Red River North Tourism’s strategy of highlighting local culture and community events. Organizers say visitors can expect a relaxed, inviting atmosphere where they can meet the people who made the products they are buying.
