The West Kootenay EcoSociety is once again bringing the legendary MarketFest back to Baker Street on Friday, July 24 from 6 -10:30 p.m.

This is a rain or shine event but hopefully the weather will be kind, the sun will shine, and the music will soar on 200 and 300 blocks of Baker Street.

Some of the acts include Sofiella Watt & The Huckleberry Bandits; Erin & The Show Cats; OQO and Sunshine Drive on the two stages — Falls Street and Stanley Street.

EcoSociety’s Markets and Events Director Jesse R. Woodward has worked with vendors, the Chamber of Commerce and city agencies to ensure that MarketFest is, once again, a great success.

MarketFest will have its food court area on and around Kootenay Street which makes it very easy for festival goers to find and choose from the wide selection of ready to eat foods that will be on hand.

A $5 donation for admission is kindly requested for anyone over 18.

What better way to spend a warm summer evening then eating scrumptious fresh foods, shopping for locally made goods and listening to wonderful live music.

The West Kootenay EcoSociety operates MarketFest as a project to promote our local economy and to create a meeting place for arts, culture
