Quilchena Street Market Returns Saturday

It will be a busy Saturday in the downtown core as the Merritt & District Chamber of Commerce and the Nicola Valley Farmers Market present the first Quilchena Street Market of the season.

The very popular event attracts hundreds to the downtown and will feature many different vendors with a variety of items to purchase. Zach Hardy, the Chamber of Commerce Community Outreach coordinator told Q101 News that everyone is excited for the first market of the year.

“It’s always exciting, especially for the first market of the year,” said Hardy. “We expect to have a full compliment of vendors on hand lining up  on Quilchena with something for everyone.”

He added that along with the usual Farmers Market wares, vendors will also feature jewelry, boutique items and non-profit groups with their displays.

The Market begins at 9:30 Saturday morning. Any vendors wishing to take part can contact Zach at 250-378-5634 or fill out a vendor form on their website www.merrittchamber.com.
