Almost invariably on hand to add to the vibe is vinyl historian David Heard who spins music live from his turntables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He will be there for Opening Day with a curated selection of music they\u2019re dubbing the Dance of the Butterflies, keeping with May\u2019s Pollinator Month theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He will spin another unique set on May 23 as part of the Market\u2019s Spring Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional Special Event Days include the Strawberry Festival & Canada Day Celebrations on June 27, Customer Appreciation Day on July 25, the Community Corn Roast on August 15, the kick-off for the annual Stuff the Truck campaign on September 12; the Harvest Festival on October 12; and the annual series of Hallowe\u2019en Parades on the final Saturday, October 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year\u2019s Market will feature a bevy of favourite vendors and many new ones as well, including R&D Bees and Trees, featuring a number of honey-related products, NB Bakery, Sweet Tooth, Zest Up Your Life Catering, and Slabtown Cider Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year\u2019s Market is sponsored by the Town of Aurora, Magna Syber, Psychability, Josef Gas, Munchies Kettlecorn, D\u2019Amico Fine Homes, Amica Aurora Promenade, ft.custom.creations, Goodlife Fitness, Sasha\u2019s Sweets, Delmanor Aurora, Costco Wholesale, Catharina\u2019s Kitchen, Willowtree Farm, The residences on Yonge, and realtor Michelle Timoski-D\u2019Amico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, Williams notes, there\u2019s always room for more sponsors to come on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe had just under 40,000 people go through the Market last year, so it is just good visibility for sponsors,\u201d she says. \u201cSo many people come to the Market just to feel better and be a part of the community. Come out to the Market, enjoy yourself, and be a part of it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
