The Local Weekly The heart and soul of our communities with news and information about the Sunshine Coast
A Thursday Night Market slated to run weekly from June 19 through to August 28 from 5 to 9 p.m. will be held in the parking lot adjacent to the shops at 626 Shaw Road, Gibsons, organized by the Society for the Preservation of Arts, Culture and Environment (S.P.A.C.E.)
The open-air event will feature food, goods and products from local vendors, and activities for children. Many evenings will also feature performances from local bands and a licensed area where visitors can enjoy a beverage while shopping and enjoying the music.
Event coordinator Leah Morgan explained that the group, whose purpose is to assist, encourage, and promote the development of a sustainable cultural community in Upper Gibsons, is hoping the community will get behind the new market.
“We have a great space here with wonderful products, amazing talent, and fun activities for all ages,” Morgan said. “We would love to help create a more vibrant arts and music community in Upper Gibsons and we hope that the Night Market is just the beginning of many projects that S.P.A.C.E. will be a part of.”
