The market is pleased to announce that the Trinity Bellwoods BIA (between the park & Bathurst) is happy to be a sponsor and support our musical program this season!  This helps us give a boost to the current honourarium per day for the wonderful musicians that come.  Yay!

The TBBIA has a lovely original, small street ambience full of independent businesses with refined visions i.e. restaurants, bars, shops and services. Think Queen west back in the day.  We suggest that after market, or any other day walk east on Dundas West and explore what they have to offer – which is much.   Check out their website for their full roster www.trinitybellwoodsdundas.com

It’s a pilot program for the market. We feel it’s a good pairing, they were established the same year as the market! Sisters!

First day of market is May 9th!  3-7pm rain or shine. It’s a soft opening so not all vendors are ready to come, but there’ll be lots of goodies still to buy. Heads up! For the month of May our patron bags are on sale 2 for 1🥰 . That’s 4 market days of opportunity to increase your capacity to use non-plastic bags for shopping.

Find them at the info tent. $5 cash or etrans info@tbfm. Exact amount appreciated. Size: 11”x18”/45 x 28cm

Our bag is versatile beyond market goodies. Excellent to take travelling, organizing stuff, makes great shoe/clothing or computer bags too. Made of 100% unbleached certified organic cotton with an excellent double draw string closure.  They hold up very well from washing too! Come June back to $5 each – still a deal 😉)

 

Here we go! It’s our seasonal call out for volunteers. Come be a #tbfmrockstar🤩 Link to Volunteering at market info/application – please read the information.  Looking 3-6 month commitment to keep the good times rolling.

UPDATE new Deadline to apply is April 1st midnight due the overwhelming response for this season! Yay!  We need time to let the dust settle, contact applicants, set up initial schedule and go from there.  As required, we do have subsequent call outs during the season. No DMs on socials, thanks.

Expect to attend an onsite orientation scheduled for weekend before first day of market (May 9th) – it’ll be 6th or 7th of May date tbc.

Note: Depending on volume of responses we may not be able to accommodate everyone in the schedule this first round – but we’ll try!
