The Town of Okotoks is partnering with MarketSquare for our 4th annual All-Indigenous Artisan Market “Iitohpoom’op" (store), taking place inside the Viking Rentals Centre Event Hall from May 29 to 31, 2026.
In the spirit of celebrating Indigenous artisans and makers, only Indigenous artisans including First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples will have the opportunity to take part as a vendor in this market.
Join us to celebrate Indigenous culture, and the Indigenous artisans and makers in our community!

Together, these events reflect the Town’s commitment to advancing Truth and Reconciliation and creating opportunities to celebrate Indigenous culture, identity, and art.
