Brought to you by the Parksville & District Chamber of Commerce, this street market is a true reflection of our community's vibrant character. Now in its 22nd year, this year's market will run on Tuesdays from 6 pm to 9:00 pm with over 150 vendors each night, set up on Craig Street in downtown Parksville. The market is popular with locals and visitors looking for a unique experience. An eclectic mix of local merchants, artisans, craftspeople, farmers, entertainers and of course food vendors. There really is something for everyone.
Summer by the Sea Street Market is an economic benefit to the community. It helps to increase the number of visitors to Parksville and is a great weekday event for those visiting the area. Come down and enjoy the market while supporting local businesses, artisans and food producers.
Vendor Registration - there's still room for drop-ins or seasonal vendors!
