The Market is Back! with a very special laneway party

Hey Danforth East, it’s almost the first Thursday in June, so that means it’s time to turn up the local love! And it doesn’t get more local than this. Come out to East Lynn Park between 3 and 7 to enjoy food and drink from nearby farms and neighbourhood businesses.

The kickoff to the market is made even more special this year with a laneway naming for Alison McMurray, one of our market founders. Join the party in time for the 5pm ceremony on West Lynn, beside the park.

Here’s what else we’ve got for you this week:

Live Music

We have Evelynne Ross, a popular folk/rock singer returning to the market again this season. This year, our musicians will be amplified and up on the hill, to maximize our marketgoers’ picnicking and grooving enjoyment!

In the Kids’ Zone

Karina Sadu Real Estate  is hosting the kids’ activities this week. Kids can decorate pots and plant their own seeds. We are looking forward to seeing the work of these little artist-farmers!

Community Guests this Week

Master Gardeners is back in the community booth answering all of your spring gardening questions.

We are also excited to bring PFLAG to the market this week to share resources with our community.

Popup Vendors

From Lex’s Pantry is our first popup vendor of the season. Here’s what she has to say:

We will be there with our:
–  spice blends – all gluten-free, vegan, nut-free, dairy-free – designed to make delicious easy.
– our sample packs – to make it easier to try 5 of our blends in your own kitchen – Best Sellers, Canadian Flavours, BBQ and Chicken packs.
– our spiced chips – potato chips seasoned with our spice blends to snack on at the market.
– samples – we’ll be sampling our Dirty Dill, Spicy Guac and at least one other blend, so drop by and try something new.
Link Haus Sausages will also be joining us with prepared sausages for your market dinner, which you can wash down with this week’s beer vendor, Red Tape Brewery

 

VOLUNTEER WITH US – PLEASE!

We are always looking for volunteers to help with setup and take-down of the market. You can sign up here.

We are looking forward to seeing you Thursday in the park. Don’t forget to swing by the DECA tent to say hello!
