End of Summer Thrills

August 27, 2025

What a weekend at Taco Fest!

Last weekend, the Market was bursting with flavour, music, and energy as Taco Fest took over for three unforgettable days. With authentic bites, every taco told its own story and the crowd loved every single one. With live music setting the scene, Lucha Libre bringing the action, artisan vendors showcasing their best, and drinks flowing, it truly felt like the heart of summer was alive right here at the Market. If you were here, you know just how phenomenal it was and if you missed it, don’t worry, there’s still so much more to come!

Be prepared and excited for your next trip at the market. We have created a list of our favorite essentials to bring when visiting us, whether that’s for a festival or a regular trip to pick up some produce. Here is what you need to make your trip successful.

Water:

Water is an essential while spending hours shopping around, especially on these hot summer days.

Tote Bag:

No more juggling acts! Bring a tote bag to carry all of your market finds and give your hands a break.

Ice packs or cooler bag:

If you intend to buy some produce, make sure to bring something to keep it chilled while you continue making your rounds.

Entertainment or work:

Simply come to enjoy the market atmosphere. The market mezzanine is the perfect place to catch up on some work, emails, or your favorite book. 

Hat and sunscreen:

For the hot festival days, these are a must-have to keep your head and eyes protected from the intense sunlight.

Comfortable shoes:

So many vendors, lots of food and so much to do. You will thank us later by wearing comfortable footwear, as there are over 40 vendors to check out!

Seasonal Riddle

Here’s a little Market brain teaser for you:

I grow tall in the summer sun,
My seeds are tasty when the season is done.
Bright and yellow, you’ll see me stand,
A cheerful favorite across the land.

What am I?

 

(Answer: A sunflower, did you guess it right away?)
