Penticton Night Market

For those of you who can't find enough hours during the day to get your shopping done, there is a new kind of market coming to Penticton.

Starting June 20, the Penticton Night Market will be open for business. This weekly market offers a variety of items from local merchants. It is a mixed venue of artisans, crafters and farmers from other area farmer and crafters markets.

Organizer Laurel Burnham says night markets are a growing trend in Canadian consumerism.

“Night markets are an up and coming thing, the sort of informal community marketplace that seems to be taking North America by storm right now,” says Burnham.

She says the mix of products will take Penticton residents by surprise. Items such as woodwork, herbal pet medicine, hot food for the supper hour and fresh produce.

“Night markets, wherever they pop up seem to be very popular,” says Burnham.

She says the Night Market will also include entertainment such as belly dancing, music and face painting.

Located outside at the Okanagan Park, the Night Market runs from 4:30 until 8:30 every Tuesday until September.
