Saturday Mornings – May 9 to October 10, 2020
Sorrento Shoppers Plaza, 1240 Trans-Canada Highway
Ample Parking available – Leashed pets welcome
We will be Open in 2020
The market will open on Mother’s Day Weekend with a wide selection of fresh, local food.
COVID-19 Response
During this time, the physical Market may sell ONLY FOOD which includes fresh, frozen, prepared foods, food carts and liquor. Unfortunately, this means that our Artisan and Craft Vendors are currently unable to attend the Market.
However, we will have an online store that can be accessed from this Website & our Facebook page where you may purchase goods or products from some of your favorite Vendors. We hope that you take the time to explore this new way of doing things.
Changes at the Market
There will be some changes to our physical market in order to comply with physical distancing and public health protocols as follows:
- You will notice additional space between vendors, and food sampling has been discontinued.
- For now, we have canceled activities that promote gatherings, such as live musicians and the Community Gathering Tent
- We ask customers to “Shop, don’t Stop” and not eat or drink on site.
Additional signage will be present onsite to help direct you during your visit.
We hope to continue to serve the community as best as we can during these difficult times. And a huge thank you for supporting our local family farms, food producers, artisans and crafters!
The Mural Project
In 2019 we transformed our storage box into a mural for everyone to enjoy year round. Artist Brian MacIsaac did the design and was helped by a group of volunteer painters. The crew included: Quinne Kobayashi, Jerre Paquette, Darlene Duxbury, Brian MacIsaac, Erik Rozek, Rebecca Kneen and Melanie Geyer.
