Market Mashup: A Week In Review and Exciting New Adventures

Last week was definitely an unforgettable one; we had our kickoff of our Beats & Eats, which is a lively afternoon filled with good food and even better music. Going forward, it will take place every Thursday for the duration of the summer.
After that, we had our widely popular Beer Fest, which was a resounding success, attracting beer fans and casual enthusiasts alike. From craft brews to traditional favourites, there was something to please every palate. The event featured local breweries showcasing their finest creations, allowing attendees to savour unique flavours and discover new favourites. The festive atmosphere was enhanced by live music performances, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable experience. With that being said, a fantastic summer week in June is a good indicator of a great summer ahead!
