CHRISTOPHER DILLABOUGH
“Amazing little market . Lots of vendors and many different items and services available. Something for everyone. Will not leave disappointed. Close to the waterfront and many other shops close by as well. Definitely worth the drive over for the day to experience some of the islands finest made items. Whether it's crystals or pottery necklaces, clothing, food, psychics or tarot. Wellbeing coaches. You name it and I'm sure this Market will have it for you. Will not disappoint. This place is always busy during the day and the vendors are all super nice and helpful. Will definitely be returning."
AARON PETERS
"One of my favourite summer markets in BC - farmers, artists, goldsmiths, and other vendors that only exist at this market. Try biking out for the day to check it out."
