Straight from the incredible ambitious and dedicated people at the Vancouver Farmers Markets: the Gastown Farmers Market opens this weekend! Please spread the word and support your local producers.

Looks like the Market is also being supported/promoted by The City of Vancouver’s Summer Spaces program, an initiative whereby “select commercial streets are opening up on Sundays this Summer for local residents to experience as temporary public spaces”. For more info on that go here to find your neighborhood’s Summer Spaces events and here for Gastown.
