\nThere will be great entertainment on these dates as well as the usual crafts and activities for children and light music throughout the season. We will continue to monitor noise levels out of respect for the neighbourhood.
\nWe have a special request for the general public as well as for our vendors and patrons: Please do NOT park blocking anyone\u2019s driveway or in any non-parking areas, and please obey all signage in the Town Park area. We all want the Farmers\u2019 Market to run smoothly and for the neighbourhood to be as happy to have us as we are being there! Thank you.<\/p>\n
