Hey there, time traveller!

Mark your calendars because the family-favourite summer market is returning this year at the Dakota Community Centre.
The success of the summer market over the last two years was overwhelming, so the Dakota Community Centre has decided it will be hosting this summer kick-off event once again. The market features a variety of local vendors, including local arts and crafts businesses, food trucks, and live music.
You can find the market at the fieldhouse lot right beside the Dakota Community Centre on June 16 and 30, July 14 and 28, and August 11 and 25. Make sure to check the Dakota Community Centre website or Facebook page before attending because these dates are subject to change. Market hours are 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
This year, look out for vendors selling home-made woodworking, candles, jewelry, glassworks and decorations, bannock pastries, jams, jellies, and more. Local artisans, musicians, and food vendors all come together to create a fun-filled day for the whole family.
Outdoor farmers’ markets have been an excellent way for families and friends to gather safely during the pandemic over the last two summers. While in-person events are slowly beginning to return, Winnipeggers will be happy to take advantage of the warm weather this summer and continue with outdoor activities such as this one. The Dakota Community Centre outdoor market will be bigger this year with improvements based on feedback from attendees last year.
The Dakota Community Centre also hosts a Christmas Market in the winter, which has been operating for over 30 years, and smaller markets that “pop-up” beside larger events hosted at the community centre. These events are a great way to meet up with friends and family in the neighborhood, and to support local businesses.
