Ten Thousand Villages Fair Trade Sale

A meaningful afternoon of ethical shopping, global craftsmanship, and community connection is coming to downtown Kingston as Ten Thousand Villages hosts a special Fair Trade Sale at The Spire on Sunday, May 31.

Taking place in the Lower Hall from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, this unique event invites visitors to explore handcrafted goods and artisan products sourced from communities throughout the developing world. More than just a market or shopping event, Ten Thousand Villages represents a global movement built around fairness, sustainability, and human connection.

For decades, Ten Thousand Villages has partnered directly with artisans across the world, supporting makers through long-term fair trading relationships that provide stable income, dignified work, and opportunities for communities to thrive. Every item tells a story, crafted using traditional skills, locally sourced materials, and generations of artistic knowledge.

Visitors can browse a beautiful selection of:
• Handcrafted jewellery
• Fair trade coffee and chocolate
• Artisan crafts and home décor
• Ethically sourced gifts
• Handmade global goods created with care and purpose

The event also celebrates 80 years of fair trade, highlighting the importance of conscious shopping and the impact small purchases can have on lives around the world.

Whether you’re looking for meaningful gifts, unique handcrafted items, or simply want to learn more about ethical trade and global artisanship, this welcoming community event offers an opportunity to connect with something larger than ourselves.

Hosted inside The Spire’s warm and inviting Lower Hall, the sale creates a relaxed environment where visitors can take their time exploring products while supporting a mission rooted in fairness, sustainability, and human dignity.
