Ottawa Street Markets has teamed up with the Westboro Village BIA to bring you the Richmond Road Market. Beginning Thursday, July 7, the Richmond Road Market is an evening event located behind the Cloud Forest Café at 339 Richmond Road.
Beginning at 4pm every Thursday until Thanksgiving, the Market will offer shopping options to those heading home from work like produce, fresh bread and take-home meals. Featuring exclusively local businesses, patrons can feel good about supporting their local economy.
Running until 8pm,
the Market will also become a reason to head out in the evening. Fitted with live music and take away food, the Marketâs regularity will emphasize Westboro Village as a place to meet friends and gather community.
âWe are thrilled to bring the Richmond Road Night Market to Westboro Village this summer. Street markets are a place to bring our community together and to reconnect with neighbours. They play a role in helping local businesses build a base of support. In fact, two of our popular local businesses started as markets, including Cloudforest Coffee at the Ottawa Street Markets.â states Executive Director Judy Linoln
Ottawa Street Marketsâ goal is to bring farmersâ markets back to communities. Promoting active living, healthy eating and local economy, the Crew at Ottawa Street Markets is set on placing a walkable farmersâ market in every community in Ottawa.
Starting with urban communities, the Westboro Village BIA is the perfect partner to introduce the newest member of the Ottawa Street Market family. An organization dedicated to the success of local businesses, by animating Richmond Road with unique experiences. Bringing together hopeful entrepreneurs, the local farming community and aspiring artists could not be any more appropriate.
