Visit
Canada's best loved
outdoor
arts, crafts, and
farm market.
When?
Each Saturday, from
March 22, 2008
through
the last Saturday in October.
From
about
8:30 to 3:30, rain or shine.*
Where?
Oceanside
at Centennial Park in the heart of
Ganges on Salt
Spring Island, in the Gulf Islands
of
British Columbia
on Canada's west
coast.
Why?
For
internationally acclaimed arts and
crafts from
Canada's "Island of
the Arts". For potters,
jewelers,
fiber
artists, woodworkers,
and fine decorative arts. For farmstead cheeses,
organic foods, music, and free
festive fun.
What's
so different about this
market?
It's the Homespun
Guarantee.
Vendors
must "make
it, bake it, or grow it"
themselves. This simple
mandate is the
essence
of our market. Visitors
are treated to exclusively
local creations stemming from Salt Spring's unique brand
of
"island ingenuity".
Highest caliber creativity
and production standards
make Salt Spring Island home
to the greatest collection of
artists in Canada.
Enjoy meeting more than 100 artisans of all types; contributors to Salt Spring's international reputation as a hotbed of fine world-class artists and organic farmers.
*note:
extreme
deluge, thunderstorms,
gales, hail and/or
snow, may restrict some
artisan displays. Showers or continuous
drizzle however, will not deter
these vendors. They're a
hardy lot.
