What a day! On Saturday, September 19, about 200 neighbours came out to Cloverdale Park for our Fall Pop-Up Market to celebrate Community League Day. With sunshine, local makers and music all afternoon, it was the kind of day that shows why we love calling Edmonton’s Village in the Park home.
Shopping Local, Right Here at Home
Our makers brought their best, and it was great to see neighbours browsing, chatting and taking home something handmade. A big thank you to:
- Record Collector’s Paradise
- Erinn Evans Art
- Phoenicia Artisan Soaps
- Crochet Cutie
- Ray’s Island Zest
- Hungry Herd
- CA Fragrances
- 503 Creations YEG
Green Onion Cakes YEG kept everyone fed, and our tasting bar featured ANOHKA Distillery, Rig Hand Distillery, and SYC Brewing.
Fun for the Whole Family
From balloon animals with Rupert Appleyard to live sets from Mike Leto and country duo The Rural Routes, there was plenty to see and hear all afternoon. Artforms Illustrations drew caricatures until the end of the day, and more than a few young neighbours went home with a portrait of themselves.
