Canmore Mountain Market
Canmore Mountain Market - 2020
Early End to the Mountain Market - Thursday, August 27
This is the last week for the Mountain Market this season. Typically, the community tradition extends into October; however, with school starting in September, our current location at the Canmore Recreation Centre becomes unavailable next week. Unfortunately, we were unable to find an alternate location that meets Alberta Health Services' requirements while ensuring adequate parking and vendor access.
We thank all the vendors for supporting our community in a challenging year, and we look forward to seeing you at the market next spring.
