September 2013 Night Market
Wow, did we ever go out with a bang! Talk about ending on a high note! Our September 13th market was a lot more than a market. The whole neighbourhood was chockablock with people and chatter and really great vibes. Stores and restaurants were packed. The market itself was so comfy and cool, a great place to browse and meet friends and just generally hang out. The weather was perfect. And the bands were both fabulous - it was great to have the music permeating the site all night long, and M&M's steps were a natural place to sit and listen. Our guess for attendance was 1750-2000 people over the 5.5 hours - maybe more.
Thanks to Gravity Espresso & Wine Bar and bite Groceteria & Cafe for truly being the heart of the market! The site itself couldn't be better, given the limited number of buildings fronting on the street, and the huge participation of those that do.
But mostly, thanks to all of you for coming out and helping us make this happen. It was a summer of great teamwork and fun.
If you like us and what we're doing, we could sure use a few more regulars on our team year round, planning new pop-up adventures! If that's too much for you, we hope we can call on you next year to help with find it events. Contact us if you'd like to be on our email list, or if you have any ideas you'd like to send our way.
To get a glimpse of our September market, take a look at this clip from CBC Calgary News, who sent a crew down to film our event (scroll ahead to about 1:53 minutes into the report).
By the way, that news story mentions that we're organizing a winter night market! Although we've had many requests for the market to continue - either next summer or year-round - we don't have an official plan for a winter market at this time. If we do change our plan, we'll be sure to post that news here as well as on our Facebook page. You can also sign up to be on our email list to receive news about what we'll be doing next.

Backyard Betties

New Street
Sept. 13th,
8:45 PM - 11:30 PM New Street plays original music with a unique sound that spans many musical genres ranging from funk and roots to disco. Clarinet melodica, harmonica, organ, guitar and bass accentuate three part harmonies to create a sound that appeals to a diverse audience. New Street has enjoyed playing Calgary pubs, benefit concerts and the South Country Fair. The band recently launched its new CD, A Curious Affair, at a sold out show at the Ironwood Stage and Grill. |
And we'll be welcoming Cheezy Bizness, Sticky Ricky's and Take it and Go to add to the tasty street fare at the Night Market!
I couldn't find a picture of the Take it and Go food truck. But you can find out about their new East African cuisine on wheels on their website.
