401 Holiday Open House Returns This November

POSTED ON November 10, 2025 BY Nadine Macandog

Kick off your holiday shopping season on Thursday, November 27 from 5 to 8 PM at one of Toronto’s most beloved creative hubs. The 401 Holiday Open House invites you to explore 25+ open artist studios, 18 galleries, 2 shops, and a licensed café — all under one roof.

From handcrafted jewelry and fine art to books, clothing, toys, and unique home goods, you’ll find one-of-a-kind gifts for everyone on your list (and maybe a treat or two for yourself).

While you browse, enjoy a bite or drink from the Dark Horse Espresso Bar or stock up your pantry with gourmet finds. This is the perfect opportunity to connect directly with local artists, makers, and creative businesses who call 401 Richmond home.
