🎄 Afri-Inspire Holiday Kiosk 2025: A Celebration of Culture, Creativity & Community 🌍✨

This holiday season, Afri-Inspire is bringing something truly special to Winnipeg!

From November 10 to December 27, 2025, the Afri-Inspire Holiday Kiosk will light up St. Vital Centre, one of the city’s busiest shopping destinations, with the vibrant creativity of immigrant and Black entrepreneurs.

This exciting initiative provides local makers, artisans, and small business owners with the opportunity to showcase their products within a major retail mall during the holiday season — a time when thousands of shoppers seek meaningful, unique, and locally inspired gifts.

🌟 Why This Matters

The Afri-Inspire Holiday Kiosk isn’t just a marketplace; it’s a movement. It’s about visibility, opportunity, and empowering local creators who often operate behind the scenes. By bringing their businesses into a high-traffic commercial space, we’re helping them:

✅ Reach new customers and grow brand awareness
✅ Experience real retail exposure in a professional environment
✅ Build connections within Winnipeg’s growing creative community
✅ Celebrate African and multicultural excellence through craftsmanship and innovation

❤️ Why Vendors Love It

Past Afri-Inspire pop-ups and market events have opened doors for small businesses to grow their audience and increase sales. This year’s Holiday Kiosk takes that vision even further by putting your products right in front of thousands of Christmas shoppers every single day.

It’s more than a sales opportunity; it’s a platform for representation, a chance to tell your story, and a celebration of community.
