Source: Burnaby Now, Burnaby Farmers Market

The much-awaited Burnaby Farmers Market is back in town, promising a delightful experience with a lively atmosphere, local food trucks, vendors, community groups, and art festivals. The market will be opening in partnership with Burnaby Blooms Festival on May 13 and May 14 outside the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts by Deer Lake from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The market will then return to its regular location at Burnaby City Hall’s parking lot on Saturdays from May 20 to Oct. 28, opening an hour earlier than last year from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The market’s manager, Jennifer Winning, said that last season was a thriving venture, and this year they plan to build on that success. She emphasized the uplifting atmosphere of the farmers’ market, where there is always something for the community to do. She said that the market provides a platform to connect with the community, with various activities such as kids’ activations, crafts, community tent to learn about local organizations, and live music performances. The market also plans to host the second annual Kids’ Fest celebration, the second Vanity Fur event for dogs, and offer free Naloxone training and kits.

In addition to the lively atmosphere and community events, the market also offers an excellent opportunity for local businesses to showcase their products and connect with customers. The market is known for its diverse offerings, ranging from Filipino specialties to modern home automation technology, and everything in between. Natasha Acuba of Telly’s Manila Kitchen, a market favorite, said that the market is an excellent platform to connect with customers and show them the product firsthand. She added that it’s also an excellent opportunity to expand her business, as it helped her get her products into local grocery stores.

For those who are planning to visit the market, admission is free, and it’s an excellent opportunity to shop local. The market promises a fun-filled experience for the whole family, with plenty of food, fun, and community activities. With the return of the Burnaby Farmers Market season, there is no better time to get out and explore the local community while supporting small businesses.
