The Christmas Japan Market 2025 took place in November at UBC Robson Square, transforming the indoor venue into a festive celebration filled with holiday warmth and community spirit. As one of the largest indoor events we’ve ever hosted at this location, the market welcomed an incredible turnout and a vibrant atmosphere throughout the day.
With approximately 7,100 attendees, the Christmas Market marked a major milestone for Japan Market. It was also the event with the largest number of vendors ever hosted at the UBC Robson Square venue, showcasing an outstanding lineup of talented creators, importers, and beloved food vendors. Visitors enjoyed exploring a wide variety of handcrafted goods, unique Japanese products, and seasonal gift ideas perfect for the holidays.
Food vendors were, as always, a highlight of the event. Long lines formed early and continued throughout the market as guests enjoyed comforting Japanese dishes and festive treats. The aromas and flavors added to the lively energy and made the market a true sensory experience.
