Vancouver’s original Artisan Market is back for its 2018 Summer Edition!
For the past 12 years, Portobello West has been offering up the best in locally made fashion, jewelry, art, skincare, food, and creative home décor, earning them a reputation as Vancouver’s premiere shop-local market.
This year’s Spring into Summer Market offers an expanded edition of everything that makes Portobello West so damn wonderful. Embellish your home, wardrobe, kitchen and pantry with lovingly made high-quality goods as you refresh your taste buds with locally made spirits, craft beer and wines (yes, there will be an on-site cocktail bar too).
This year, the first 50 attendees will be entered to win $400 gift basket courtesy of Portobello West’s makers and sponsors. There will also be raffle prizes every hour.
Here’s what else there is to look forward to at Portobello West’s Spring into Summer Artisan Market.
AN ELEVATED EXPERIENCE

For the first time ever, Portobello west will feature an on-site Cocktail Bar featuring Odd Society Spirits. The bar will be offering signature cocktails, small-batch spirits made in East Van, craft beer and wine. It’s also the debut of Portobello West’s brand-new home at the Roundhouse Community Centre. Originally a repair shed for train engines, the Roundhouse Exhibition Hall retains much of historic architecture, and even some railway tracks which remain embedded in its polished concrete floor.
GORGEOUS SHOP-LOCAL FINDS

Shop 60+ artisans featuring on trend fashion, jewelry, skincare, art, kid’s accessories, home decor and more. One of our favourite parts about Portobello West is that you can actually meet the people behind the market’s collection of locally made goods. This year’s full vendor list can be found HERE.
YOUR NEW FAVOURITE LOCAL DISH

In addition to makers serving up delicious dishes (raw local honey, decorative fortune cookies and SO much more), Portobello West will also feature three food trucks; Frying Pan, Bandidas and Mike's Perfect Perogy.
With 60+ B.C. artisans and on-site DJs, it would be a shame to miss the next chapter of Vancouver’s first Artisan Market. Come out, shop local and support Vancouver’s makers!
