Shop, celebrate, and give back! A celebration of Black joy, culture, and community.
The Black Joy Holiday Market (BJHM) is a two-day celebration of Black culture, creativity, and community in Pickering. Presented by the Durham Family & Cultural Centre (DFCC) in partnership with the Pickering Anti-Black Racism Taskforce (PABRT), the Market features Black-owned businesses, local artist, youth entrepreneurs, food, music, and family fun. More than a marketplace, it’s a joyful movement supporting DFCC’s Afro-Caribbean Food Baskets, which provide culturally relevant groceries to families across Durham Region during the holidays.
Join us to celebrate Black joy, support local entrepreneurship, and make a difference in our community.
One of the unique aspects of the Black Joy Holiday Market is that each Vendor is also a proud sponsor of the Afro-Caribbean Food Baskets. This is community supporting community. A true celebration of Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) and Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility).
