WHAT IS THE NIGHT MARKET?
The night market is an extension of the Summer Love Market, designed to capture our beautiful summer nights in the Okanagan. After the regular day market on August 10, 2024, which runs 10am - 4pm, we will close for a couple of hours to give our vendors a break, grab a bite to eat and transform our space. Then reopen for a dazzling evening of more local shopping and socializing from 6pm-9pm.
Vendors may choose to stay on-site or leave during this break. Guests/Patrons will not be permitted in market areas during this time for security reasons. Guests who have attended the day-time market can return for the night-market at no additional admission cost.
ADMISSION FEE?
Our Fall & Winter markets are Free Admission to the public. Our Summer Love Market is a $5.00 admission fee, which simply goes towards all of the event costs and helps us continue our market each season, supporting small business & local makers. Each year, a percentage of admission fees are donated to a chosen, local non-profit or community member in need.
