We’re hoping the Canada Day long weekend marks the end of the rainy, floody weather! Join us this week at the market for good times, music, kids crafts, and lots of amazing foods and crafts!
Our kids activity this week is pinwheels! Our kids’ activities are always free to do, and we are always looking for creative businesses or volunteers who’d like to lead a special activity for our kids’ area. This week we are pleased to be showcasing the St. Leonard’s Society and New Westminster Parole as our community group.
Music this week is Ingmar Krause, an authentic German organ grinder! Our music is sponsored as always by the Heritage Grill, where they have live music seven days a week of all genres.
You can reach the market via transit by taking the 106 bus or the Skytrain to Columbia Street Station and walking to the market at 4th and Royal. Parking is available in the neighbourhood for free along Royal Avenue, Queens Avenue, or at City Hall’s lot after 4:30. Please respect our neighbours.
Bringing your bike? Cyclists can drop bikes off to the fine folks at our info desk for safekeeping.
