Another successful summer of Transcona Community Markets has come to a close. This year, we relocated the market back to Transcona Centennial Square, kicking off the season with a Canada Day market on July 1st. We then hosted markets every Thursday from July 10th to August 21st. To mix things up, we adjusted our usual schedule to include more evening markets, offering a balance of four night markets and four day markets.

It was truly exciting to see the markets come to life each week.
With 21 vendors, a food truck, a hot dog stand, market features, and lawn games set up on the
stage, the markets offered something for everyone who visited. Each week, our diverse group of
vendors brought a variety of local products, including fresh vegetables, baked goods, jewelry,
coffee, wine and spirits, jams, preserves, hot sauces, BBQ rubs, artwork, accessories, and so much
more.

This year, we introduced market features as a way for community members to connect with local
groups and clubs. These included the Transcona Trail Trekkers, Mad Science, Cornelius Thiessen’s
Bike Safety Demo, the Transcona Garden Club, and the Transcona Optimist Club’s hotdog stand. In
addition, we hosted a prize draw throughout the summer, giving everyone a chance to win.

A huge thank you goes out to our dedicated vendors, enthusiastic market features, and our hardworking team of summer students who helped set up and run the markets. We especially want
to thank the community members who visited and supported our local vendors and businesses. It was
wonderful to see so many of you, and we can’t wait for next year!
