Oceanside at
Centennial Park in the heart
of Ganges on Salt
Spring Island, in the

coast.

Arts". For potters,

What's
so different about this
market?
It's the Homespun
Guarantee.
Vendors
must "make it,
bake it, or grow it"
themselves, and all
products must be
"vendor produced and
sold". These
simple mandates are the
essence of our market. Visitors
are treated to local
creations stemming from
Salt Spring's unique
brand
of "island
ingenuity".
Highest caliber
creativity
and production standards
make Salt Spring Island
home
to the greatest
collection of artists in
Canada.
Enjoy meeting more than
140 artisans of all types;
contributors to Salt
Spring's international
reputation as a hotbed of
fine world-class artists
and organic farmers.
*note:
extreme deluge, thunderstorms, gales, hail and/or snow, may restrict some
artisan displays. Showers or continuous drizzle however, will not deter these
vendors. They're a hardy lot.
