It’s the thought that counts—not the timing. If you’re still shopping for the loved ones (and even the not-so-loved ones) in your life this weekend, check out the unconventional offerings at Eastside Flea’s final holiday market (appropriately titled “Last Dash Holiday Bash”). Over 60 vendors will be peddling everything from locally handcrafted jewellery to vintage clothing and vinyl records. Plus, you’ll be able to score some so-called “Adult Christmas Crackers.” And if you’re hungry for B.C.’s best tacos (who isn’t?), the Tacofino food truck will be parked just outside. eastsideflea.comWhen: Saturday, Dec. 19, and Sunday, Dec. 20, 10am to 4pm | Where: The Wise Hall, 1882 Adanac St. | Cost: $3 admission, $2 with food donation
