From May 30 to Aug. 29, downtown Kelowna will be host to weekly night markets on every Thursday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., according to an association media release. The market will take place in Kerry Park and in the 200 block of Bernard Avenue and will be comprised of a mix of local businesses, artisans, crafter, food producers and community-based entertainers.
"A key component of the evolving programming strategy for the Meet Me on Bernard program, the Night Market aims to invigorate downtown Kelowna in the late afternoon and evening by providing a fun and inclusive environment while supporting downtown Kelowna businesses," reads the release.
