On the 22nd of every month, a local faith group will host a climate vigil in the tradition of their spiritual practice.

All are welcome. Location and theme to be announced.

Downtown Local Markets run Wednesdays from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm through to September 25th, offering an amazing mix of local produce, plants, prepared foods, body care, and hand-made arts and crafts. Customers can rest assured that they are supporting the local economy as 80% of each vendor’s wares are made locally. In addition all the farmers at this event grow what they sell so you are truly supporting our local food security system which is just one of the EcoSociety’s mandates.

MarketFest returns to Nelson this July 26th starting at 6 pm and running until 10:00 pm on the 200 and 300 blocks of Baker St. This is a rain or shine event but with luck the weather will be beautiful, the sun will shine, and the music will soar. This July’s MarketFest musical line-up is TBA but will take place on the Falls St. Stage at Falls and Baker St.

MarketFest attendees will, as always, have a fantastic variety of  products to choose from including include hand-made hats and clothes, locally made pottery and jewellery, and an array of body care products and, of course, lots of different and delicious ready-to-eat foods.

At the Stanley St. Stage, which is hosted this year by The Nelson District Arts Council, there will be live painting, art gallery and other performances. Check back for more information as the date approaches. 

Market-goers will find everything from bedding plants to locally grown produce, delicious ready to eat foods, organic meat and eggs, handmade artisan gifts, locally made body care products, live music and much more. The wonderful mix of full-season vendors and drop-in vendors make for an exciting shopping experience that is always a different from week to week.
