The Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market is getting ready to kick off its 10th anniversary year this week.
On Sunday, May 6, the collection of vendors from as close as Steveston to as far as the Okanagan will sell produce, baked goods, handmade jewellery, skin care and local beer will return to the parking lot across from the Steveston Community Centre two Sundays per month through September. As the season goes on, the produce will continue to be more varied and plentiful.
“We’ve got a great mix of vendors lined up for this year’s summer season including many new vendors along with returning customer favourites,” said Al Sakai, chair of the SFAM Committee in a press release.
“This is the perfect place to meet with your neighbours, bring guests and connect with the people growing the food we eat."
To celebrate opening day, there will be children’s activities, entertainment and a Mother’s Day craft table.
The market runs at 4320 Moncton St. at Easthope Avenue from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., rain or shine. Visit www.sfam.ca for more details including specific market dates.
