The Downtown Markets

Market on Stephen Avenue

We started this market back in 2016 until 2019 and was a big hit! We had locals from around the city, people that worked downtown and a lot of convention/ tourist visitors. As a vendor you drive right on Stephen Avenue to unload; we are on 1st SE-Centre St-1st SW, then there is parking in the Telus Convention Centre plus a variety of Imparks. With everyone going back to work and conventions being booked again, this is a great opportunity to sell your items and for those that sign up for every date, they get the same location at all times! Note it is an Artisan Market AGLC approved.

Market on Stephen Avenue

The Kensington Night Market

Located in the Heart of Kensington beside Tim Horton’s and across from the Landmark Point building. Kensington is a small business district that is perfectly walkable and close to the River pathways as well as Downtown core. Plus close the SAIT and Crowchild makes it a highly visible and high traffic area. We wanted people to come down to experience the Market but also check out some cool historic buildings combined with modern architecture, but all in all, the feeling is of a small village. It has a cool and often whimsical take in the variety of shops and public art. The Kensington district is more than 100 years old and continues to be a great inner city shopping district for tourists and is a popular destination for locals for dates and hanging out. These are just a few reasons why we chose to produce Markets in Kensington, ask us how you can be involved?

Our Pathway to Bringing People Together!

Our Markets

In 2011 we were hired to bring Markets to AAAA Large Officers towers in Downtown Calgary for the tenants and residents surrounding the Towers, we continued to operate these outstanding markets until Covid but once safe we hope to bring them back. We held Markets in Livingston Place, Jamieson Place and Gulf Canada Square. In 2016 we had a Vision to bring a Market on Stephen Ave to offer a vibrancy, energy, traffic and support to Downtown Calgary, we ran our Market on Stephen Ave on Tuesdays from May until the end of August on 1st SE, Centre St and 1st SW for 3 years. We were so excited and pleased that through this Market we were Awarded the Vitality Award from the Downtown Business Association and White Hatted by Calgary Tourism Association. In 2020 we began through the support of the Kensington BRZ to produce the Kensington Markets which are held on Saturdays until Summer then switched to Night Markets on Thursdays.

Also in 2020 we developed The Summer Market in Cardel which is located in Quarry Park, SE Calgary and held on Saturdays, we chose this location due to the outstanding community and how it is easily accessible to numerous other communities. We are pleased to announce that we are also working on numerous other Markets & Festivals which we will announce in the future….Keep a close eye on us you never know where we will be NEXT!!
