At the 2026 Event
Set up at the Father's Day Waterfront Festival vendor market on race day with handmade crochet plushies, flower bouquets, keychains, bags, and more.
Knots & Giggles is a one-person crochet studio whose Instagram bio says it best: hand-knit magic, designed with love. Everything on the table is 100% handmade — plushies, flower bouquets, keychains, bags, hats, and hair clips — and if you don’t see the piece you’re picturing, custom orders are always open.
The plushies are the stars. Soft, whimsical animal creations — a chocolate Labrador cub is a shop favourite — have made Knots & Giggles a regular at local maker’s markets, where the booth tends to collect kids the way yarn collects loose ends.
You’ll find Knots & Giggles among the local makers, food vendors, and small businesses that brought the 2026 Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K Father’s Day Waterfront Festival to life.
Why we love having them at the Classic
A table of hand-crocheted plushies at a Father's Day festival is kid magnetism, plain and simple. Every piece is made by one maker, one stitch at a time — exactly the kind of small, handmade business the festival market was built to celebrate.
