Smithers’ Main Street will be closed to vehicle traffic tomorrow (Saturday) as vendors line the street.
This is for the town’s Main Street Market which is expected to be larger than last year’s events.
“This year we are doing one that’s going to be a bigger event,” said Communication and Engagement Officer Samantha LeBlanc.
“It is a big event and we have a lot of vendors that are in and out of town through the summer so we settled that one weekend would be easier for everyone.”
She added funding and staff capacity were also factors that contributed to the town hosting only one market this year.
Over 40 vendors and booths will be setup with live music happening at Bovill Square and various activities in the area.
“We have a lot of things going on in the north through the summer so we looked at various event calendars and picked a weekend where there wasn’t a lot going on,” said LeBlanc.
The event runs from noon to 4:00 p.m.
