The One Of A Kind Spring Market runs April 1–4, 2027 at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place, in Toronto. The organiser gives the dates on its application page. For makers, the date to note first is the application deadline of January 6, 2027.
This guide was checked on November 10, 2026.
Dates and venue
The show takes place over four days, Thursday April 1 to Sunday April 4, 2027. We did not find 2027 opening hours on the pages we checked, so confirm them with the organiser nearer the time.
Applying: deadline January 6, 2027
The application page states that the next-round deadline is January 6, 2027. The organiser's FAQ adds two details worth planning around:
- Applicants should expect to hear back 3–4 weeks after the deadline.
- After the deadline, applications are still accepted until the show sells out. That is not a promise of space: a late application competes for whatever is left.
New exhibitors and returning exhibitors use separate forms, both linked from the Spring application page. Questions go to apply@oneofakindshow.com.
What the jury asks for
The application page is specific:
- You are the designer and heavily involved in producing your work.
- Every item for sale must be made in Canada. Designing products and having them produced abroad is not permitted.
- AI-generated images are not allowed for product or studio photos.
- Some categories must send samples, including food and drink, stationery and paper, personal care, candles, and health and wellness.
If you make outside Canada, this is not a show you can apply to.
Booth costs
The organiser publishes booth sizes and prices as a rate sheet linked from the application page; we are not quoting figures here because we could not read them reliably. Two reductions are stated on the page: a New Artisan fund that reduces booth fees by $1,000 for first-time applicants with under five years of practice, and a Travel Scholarship that reduces them by $500 for first-time applicants from outside Ontario. Check the conditions before you count on either.
The previous edition
In 2026 the Spring show ran April 9–12 at the same venue, with more than 500 Canadian artisans, according to Retail Insider. The 2027 edition is a week earlier.
Before you apply
A four-day indoor show means booth fees, travel, accommodation and stock for four full days. Add it up and work out your break-even with is this craft fair worth it?. For paperwork and kit, see what you need to sell at markets.
