Pride at the Market Returns!
We’re celebrating Pride Month at the East Lynn Farmers’ Market on June 26! Queer Toronto artist, Holly Clausius, is back with her hypnotizing blend of pop, soul, folk, and rock, as she gears up for the release of her new album this summer. You can listen to her on Spotify or follow her on Instagram or TikTok @hollyclausius
In the Kids’ Zone, Mischief Makers is also back at the market with a fun Pride-themed Lego printing activity. DECA volunteers will also be on hand with glitter tattoos for all!
And why not grab a bite at one of the three popup vendors this week? Borrel offers traditional Dutch-Indonesian snacks and comfort food, Yappi’s has Japanese home-style cooking while the Link Haus makes sausages like nothing you’ve had before. Wash it all down with a refreshing beer from award-winning Muddy York Brewing Co.
Friends of Ruby will be in the Community Booth this week so please bring donations, if you can. Friends of Ruby supports 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, from counselling and community to housing and healthcare. Check the poster to see a list of items that are most needed.
