Steveston market turns 10 this weekend
Happy Birthday to the Steveston Farmers
Artisans Market.
This Sunday (May 6), the popular village
attraction will begin its 10th year. Operating from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. two
Sundays each month through September, it is located in the parking lot across
the street from the Steveston Community Centre.
“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,” says Al Sakai, who chairs the market committee.
Sakai says the market succeeds because of the
“great atmosphere.”
“Our entire team of organizers does a really
good job trying to make a fun and family-friendly atmosphere. We’ve averaged
about 1,200 visitors per market.”
From old favourites including originals
Martha’s Kettle Corn, Canuck Soap and Glenwood Farms to newcomers such as Mike’s
Perfect Perogies, the list of carefully-selected vendors is as varied as the
array of items for sale. From fresh produce, baked goods and tasty treats to
craft brewers, unique handicrafts including jewellery and skin care products to
clothing, there’s something for every taste. And an opening day, the kids will
enjoy activities and entertainment specifically for them including the
opportunity to craft a gift for Mother’s Day.
Market vendors come from as close as
Steveston and travel from as far as the Fraser Valley and Okanagan. The market
will feature fresh farmed produce that will become more varied and plentiful as
fields and orchards ripen over the summer, and food producers including natural
and organic cheeses, meat and poultry products.
