Community Futures Howe Sound Partnership Spotlight: Bratz Biz



The Arts Whistler Holiday Market is an annual tradition for many locals, showcasing countless small businesses and artisans from all over the Sea to Sky. And each year, the market also hosts ‘Bratz Biz’, a market specifically for the youngest entrepreneurs in the region.   


What is Bratz Biz?  


Bratz Biz is all about supporting and showcasing young artists. It fosters not just their creativity in making hand-made goods, but also their entrepreneurial spirit by challenging them to create goods that will sell. 


Then, it puts them to the test as vendors as they market their goods during the two-day festive event.  


Overall, it fosters the next generation of entrepreneurs, showing them that their passion and creativity can offer income and the potential for business success.  


For those visiting the market, Bratz Biz is every bit as worthwhile to visit as the main Holiday Market. The goods for sale make for excellent Christmas gifts, either for yourself or friends and loved ones!  


There will be 40+ vendors at the market this year, so be sure to pay a visit and support these young entrepreneurs.

Why Community Futures Howe Sound is so proud to partner with this event 


Our goal as an organization is to support local businesses in the Sea to Sky. Whether that’s a young entrepreneur looking to start their first business, or a seasoned business owner looking to expand their products and services.  


An event like Bratz Biz is the perfect place to start, which is why we have sponsored this youth market for the last few years.  


We share the same aims of promoting the entrepreneurial spirit in the region, and we share the same enthusiasm for seeing that spirit alive and well in some of the youngest members of our community.  


We sincerely hope that some of the Bratz Biz entrepreneurs will eventually reach out to us for our free business advice and support, or even for a business loan to help them get those business ideas off the ground.  


We look forward to seeing the community come out in full force to support Bratz Biz this year. You’ll see our branding featured as a sponsor of the event, and we’ll see you there!
