The Holiday Food + Artisan Market will feature over 60 vendors offering a mixture of holiday gifts and treats. There will also be live music and food trucks at the outdoor market. The holiday event is a special edition of the usual New West Farmer’s Market, which typically includes vendors like Alyssa Dawn’s Natural Soapery, Mukasi Coffee & Co. and Golden Ears Cheesecrafters.
The market has filled six “scholarship” positions dedicated to marginalized food and craft vendors. It has explained the motivation behind this initiative as being inclusion:
“The intention of this scholarship is to provide more opportunities for vendors who face barriers in bringing their products to market in the pursuit of equity and inclusion. As a community market it is important to us that our market accurately reflects our community.”
Attendance for the market will require a donation to the New West Farmer’s Market fund. Markets such as these give independent artisans and small businesses a chance to interface directly with new customers, making long-term connections with Business Cards and promotional items.
The Holiday Food + Artisan Market will take place on the evenings of December 11 and 12 at 511 Royal Avenue, in front of New Westminster’s City Hall.
