Our opening market is going to be great! We’re excited to be up and running and are pleased to bring you some of your favourite vendors from last year, and introduce you to some new vendors you’ll be sure to love! We’ve got a few special tricks planned for our first market to kick things off – stay tuned! The first market of the 2010 Summer Season is June 10th from 3-7PM, in gorgeous Tipperary Park, just a short heart-starting walk up 4th Street from Columbia Skytrain Station, next to New Westminster City Hall. There is free parking at the metered spots on Royal, and free parking after 4:30PM in City Hall’s lot. For cyclists, there is a bike rack at the south end of the market.
