Food Trucks Invade East Lynn Park Farmers’ Market

Food Truck Festival

While you’re picking up your fresh, Ontario produce this week, why not stay for dinner? We’ve invited some food trucks to our lovely market. They’ll be featuring some of the delicious produce, like potatoes, strawberries and tomatoes, from the farmers themselves.

The food trucks will be along East Lynn Avenue.

If you’re wondering what’s in it for the wee ones this week, we’ve got that covered too. Our friend Dan Yashinsky, storyteller extraodinare, will be at the market at 3:30 pm making our children’s imaginations pop and faces glow as he tells interactive and entertaining stories. Then, at 4:15 pm Hannah Naiman will get their little bodies dosidoing and swinging with their partners for a Family Barn Yard Square Dance. Yee Haw!

This week will also feature music from local talent – Kanuckistan! They describe themselves as a Root-blues, international folk and original music band. Sounds interesting!
