The Downtown Kelowna Night Market is returning for its second year in Kerry Park.
The market will run every Thursday from 5 to 10 p.m. in the park and along the 200 and 300 Blocks of Bernard Avenue, with the first market taking place May 29.
Visitors can explore a vibrant mix of Downtown Kelowna businesses, artisans, local food makers, and community entertainment.
According to The Downtown Kelowna Association (DKA), the 200 and 300 blocks of Bernard will stay carѻýfree until after the Canadian Country Music Week & Awards on Sept.ѻý13.
ѻýThis uninterrupted pedestrian corridor creates a safe, lively space from The Sails Street to Pandosy Street,ѻý stated the DKA.
Highlights to watch for this summer are:
- Cultural Nights series ѻý Select Thursdays in July and August will feature local cultural groups sharing music, dance, and artisan creations.
- Restaurantѻýfriendly food policy ѻý Foodѻýtruck offerings focus on nonѻýcompeting grabѻýandѻýgo fare, supporting downtown eateries.
- Expanded footprint ѻý Extra room for extended patios, street games, and familyѻýfriendly activities thanks to the fullѻýseason street closure.
ѻýVendor applications for 2025 are now closed, and the roster is set. Shoppers can look forward to a curated collection of handmade goods and local flavours each week,ѻý said the DKA.
