Made on Salt Spring

Salt Spring Island’s famed Saturday Market is coming to Vancouver to feature local makers, creators, designers and artisans for the Made on Salt Spring event! From “Canada’s Coolest Island” (per the Washington Post, and also #1 in my heart) comes a 3-day event filled with products from dozens of makers, creators and designers.

“We’re very excited to bring Made on Salt Spring to the city to showcase the best of the Island to a mainland audience,” says Made on Salt Spring organizer and artisan Álvaro Sánchez. “We live in a close-knit, supportive community and this is an opportunity for Vancouverites to enjoy the charm of Salt Spring’s rural ambience at a relaxed indoor market where there’s something for everyone to enjoy.”
