Brandon’s “Big One” Arts & Crafts Sale Returns to the Keystone Centre

Brandon’s largest handmade shopping event is set to return this fall as the annual “Big One” Arts & Crafts Sale takes over the Keystone Centre on two weekends in October 2025.

The sale will run Saturday & Sunday, October 18–19, and again October 25–26, 2025. Each weekend will feature 175 booths filled with handmade arts, crafts, food, and artisan goods—with new vendors each weekend to keep things fresh.

The event will be held in the Manitoba Room & UCT Room at the Keystone Centre (1175 – 18th Street, Brandon).  The doors open daily at 10:00 a.m. and close at 5:00 p.m.

Admission is $5 per person (kids 12 & under free).  Free parking will be available onsite.  The event also gives back — part of the proceeds from admission go to the BRHC Foundation to support CancerCare locally in Brandon and the Westman region.

Organizer representatives say this year’s lineup will feature a wide variety of handmade items, from pottery, jewellery, woodworking, textiles, to food and décor. It’s a great chance for the public to meet the makers behind the goods and find one-of-a-kind gifts heading into the holidays.

For Brandon area shoppers eager to get a head start on holiday gift shopping, this event offers one of the best opportunities to browse and buy locally made treasures.
