Grab your umbrella and join us for a joint rendition of “Rain, Rain go away!” this Saturday at the Winter market on Belmont from 11am to 3pm.

Rain isn’t guaranteed, but we do promise to have delicious treats, seasonable local foods, and stocking stuffers for you early Christmas shoppers. Grab your reusable bag and come fill it with fresh local produce, pastries, breads. Grab a jar of jam to spread on that baguette! Stock up on some local craft beer, dessert, or popcorn! We have a bit of everything to suit your rainy day desires!

Be sure to visit the vendors situated in our big Marquee Tent sponsored by the wonderful folks of the Uptown Business Association. You’ll find many of your favourite vendors under the tent as well as some new faces.

Driving to the market? FREE PARKING is available at Westminster Centre, directly across the street from Belmont Street. If you are taking transit the #106 bus stops at 5th avenue and 6th street. Coming from the Quay? Take River Market’s brand new FREE DUC shuttle from the Quay straight to our location.

Join us on Belmont Street for lunch! Enjoy a nice coffee and relax on one of the UpTown Parklet adirondack chairs!

A list of our vendors for November 19th can be found below. Please check out Facebook Page or Twitter for any last minute cancellations or updates.

There are plenty of cool places to sit and enjoy the market within our gorgeous park, bring a blanket and enjoy the shade. If you are feeling up for it give yoga a try with our free class from Diane Haynes Yoga at 5:15pm.
