As Market Collective approaches our 8-Year Anniversary, we can’t help but reflect on how much our community has provided us, and we are incredibly grateful. What started as a humble project has grown in leaps and bounds. We are proud to have contributed our work and passion building Market Collective as a space for the creative class to thrive, to exchange ideas, and ultimately to grow together as a community. This success has been a direct result of the outpourings of each a...rtist, musician and food vendor who have invested their hearts into the creative work they have showcased at each MC event.

We are now at an exciting point in our organization, and have decided that in lieu of hosting an Anniversary event, we will focus on our growth, both internally and externally. Over the next 3 months we will dedicate ourselves in honouring our roots, growing as an organization, and generating new ideas for upcoming events.

With growth comes celebration! For the month of August, we will be sharing 8 exciting announcements for Market Collective, including new developments and meaningful organizational additions. We wish to give back to the community that has been so pivotal in our growth and with us through this journey.

Stay posted on our Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Website, for your chance to win gift baskets, huge sponsorships, cash prizes and learn all about the behind the scenes additions that we plan to unfold! We look forward to connecting with you all through our social media engagements!

"Face your fear of pintimacy" with these quirky pins made by the fabulous Heather Buchanan. Don't we all need a taco pin in our lives?!

Let's taco bout these fish tacos served with your choice of sweet & spicy coleslaw or corn & black bean salad. So fresh, so delicious.

Tacos not your thing? How about dumplings, pad thai, pirogies or freshly squeezed lemonade? It's lunch time on the MC patio, and we've got you covered (no matter what you are in the mood for)!
