June has just flown by, and with it our first month of summer markets! Strawberry season is upon us once again, so be sure to look out for those from our produce vendors. With Canada Day Friday, make sure you stock up on those BBQ necessities! What’s your favourite thing so far? Or what are you most looking forward to for the rest of the summer?
This week our musical guest is Cary Grigg of Fiddlestix, who mixes Celtic, Métis, Old Time, Swing, Pop, Rock and original music. As usual, the fabulous Heritage Grill is sponsoring our music. Make sure you bring the kids, they wouldn’t want to miss out on Allyson Grant’s face painting, or our kids’ craft area, sponsored by Derrick Thornhill. This week our non-profit is the Hyack Association. Check out Art in the Park’s featured artist in the middle of the market!
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 or at City Hall’s lot after 4:30. Please respect our neighbours. Our bike rack has temporarily gone missing, but you can drop it off to the fine folks at our info desk at the top end of the market.
