As part of the South Granville Summer series, the South Granville Business Improvement Association (SGBIA) is partnering with The Nooks, Got Craft?, and Portobello West to host a truly awesome outdoor street experience!
Dubbed Market, this craft pop-up series will be presented by different artisanal craft collectives on the corner of West 10th Ave. and West 11th Ave. at Granville Street on the Saturdays of July 24th, August 7th, and August 28th, 2021 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Inspired by the street markets of Europe, Market will be free and open to the public. Locals and visitors alike are invited to browse the curated collections of handcrafted pottery, illustrations, clothing, jewelry, and other goods in the center of Vancouver’s premiere lifestyle neighbourhood. Each market day will feature different selections that are sure to satisfy all tastes!
