We’re excited to bring you over 90 local vendors this year including many of your usual favourites as well as a bunch of new faces!

Rain, snow, or shine- this market will be an excellent chance to shop local this Holiday season.  Whether you’re shopping for last minute gifts or looking for fresh ingredients for your Holiday Dinner, we have it all!

We will be outside New West City Hall December 10+11, from 10am-4pm
Entrance is by a recommended $5 minimum donation to be split with the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

Can’t wait to see you there!!! 

Don’t miss our upcoming silent auction taking place this weekend October 1st and 2nd.

Pie for Pride is back! 

After a two year hiatus we’re thrilled to bring back our annual Pie for Pride bake off!

The remaining pie will be sold by donation with all proceeds going to New West Pride!

This year’s illustrious judges are 

• Anita Ansari – school board trustee, past judge (she’s serious about pie!), and pie perfectionist. 
• Alejandro Diaz – owner of a sophisticated palate and El Santo and Nox Restaurants. 
• Shannon Dolton – Pride President and official taste tester to her home baking wife. 
• Patrick Johnstone – City Councillor. When Patrick was asked to judge this contest he said, “This is, with not a hint of hyperbole, the greatest thing that has ever happened in my life.”
• Chelsea Watt – NWFM Board President, avid home baker, and dedicated fan of all things pie.

We hope to see you there!!! 

Welcome to Sprout Club!

From June 30th to September 1st, children aged 5-12 are invited to participate in our free summer program! Every Thursday from 3-7, youth are welcome to participate in our free, educational activities that focus on food, agriculture, and the environment around us. Youth will paint, colour, glue, collect items, discover, and do so much more!

On June 30th, youth are invited to attend our first Sprout Club event to collect their summer passport. Throughout the summer, participants can collect stamps for each activity they participate in. At the end of the summer, passports will be collected and names will be entered into a draw to win one of three Sprout Club prizes! The more weeks that youth participate, the more chances they have of winning!

This year, we will start off Sprout Club by honouring Indigenous Culture. Join us on June 30th at Tipperary Park from 3-7 to learn about Cedar trees. Come search for Cedar trees, paint with Cedar boughs and explore Indigenous Art as we kick off the summer!
