At the last minute, the weatherman let us down and after polling the vendors, we called off the final market due to poor weather. Many apologies to anyone who came down to see us only to find that we weren’t there 
In the meantime, we are making plans for the winter market. And we have a new email address:
prnightmarket@gmail.com
As this was only our second year, we are still evolving and learning. We’ve already had lots of feedback but we’re always looking for more. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please do let us know.

And we’ll have the usual great variety of vendors plus fire spinners to give a farewell to the 2009 Hot Summer Night Market! Our second year has been wonderful and we’d like to thank everyone for coming out to spend their Thursday evenings with us beside the sea. We’d also like to thank our fabulous vendors who have brought such a great variety of goods to delight marketgoers and finally, we’d very much like to thank our sponsors whose support has been key to our success: Rona Building Supplies, the City of Powell River Parks, Recreation & Culture, and Tourism Powell River.
We’ve learned lots this year and have had lots of great feedback from vendors and marketgoers alike on how to improve the market for future incarnations. We’re already choosing dates for the Cool Winter Night Market so stay tuned!
See you tonight at Willindon Beach from 6-8pm!

Anyone who has been to the Open Air Market or Art in the Park or Blackberry Street Party or any other festival type events in the Powell River area will surely be familiar with Co Moe’s kitchen truck of yummy goodness! Colin & Moe have been serving up deliciousness from their blue van for years, and they will be Willingdon Beach 
Thursday nights from 6-8pm with homemade blackberry rhubarb lemonade (sweetened with organic sugar!) 50-mile friendly milkshakes & ice cream treats, Moe’s own special Hempower Bars and, of course, Montreal Smoked Meat sandwiches and homemade Perogy plates.
Hungry yet?? Come on down Thursday night and fill up, and don’t forget a week’s supply of Hempower Bars to get you through until the next market.
See you at the beach!

What a busy blackberry bees everyone was last week!! Hope you all had a fantabulous time enjoying all the Blackberry Week activities and are suitably full of blackberry pie, blackberry shortcake, blackberry soda, blackberry sauce, blackberry jam and blackberry martinis!
Unfortunately, there was some confusion because, without our knowledge, the Peak apparently listed us (albeit with the wrong name) on their poster of activities even though the market took a break during Blackberry Week. Apologies to anyone who went to the beach last Thursday to look for us, but it was a beautiful evening so I’m sure you had a great time without us anyway. The weatherman is forecasting sunny skies for this week so the Hot Summer Night Market plans to be back in full swing.
See you at the beach!!

Due to the exposed location, the Hot Summer Night Market is a shine only event folks so it’s not looking too hopeful for tonight at this point. However, we’re checking the skies and ‘persuading’ the weatherman hourly and hoping to pull it together for tonight’s market. Stay tuned!!
