yet another crafty weekend in vancouver

This city's getting a little craft crazy. There are so many shows these days!

To add to the mix, Blim's starting a new monthly craft fair: the Main Street Community Market. Starting this Sunday, March 29th, these shows will take place on the last Sunday of every month, from 11 am to 5 pm, at the Cambrian Hall (215 East 17th ave at Main, behind Granville Island Toys). Admission is free!

More deets from Blim:

Our first community market will be on Sunday, March 29 from 11–5 PM, include 30 vendors, live music, hot food, beverages, and entertainment. Vendors will include food, fashion, accessories, supplies, fine art, vintage items and records, and not be limited to crafts, and there will be a focus on nurturing and promoting creative production in our community. We want to appeal to young, old, hip, plain, babies, animals, men, women, everyone.
We are very excited about this event and what it can contribute to Main Street’s artistic vitality, and how it can help support and encourage the local creative community.
