Artisans, artists, and food vendors are encouraged to register their booth for Oliver’s Music / Art Market in the Park on any Thursday evenings from June 21 – September 4, 4:30 – 8:30 p.m. at Oliver Community Park. Come once, or come all summer. A joint collaboration of the Oliver Community Arts Council and Oliver Parks and Recreation. We want to grow this into the best sunset festival in the valley! Come grow the event with us! Register here: Oliver Art Market Vendor Form and return to the Oliver Parks and Recreation office.

We’re not the only art market out there, so here are a couple of ideas if you want to hit some other venues in the South Okanagan:

The Penticton and District Arts Council runs Art under the Trees on the 100 block of Main Street on Saturdays from 8:30 – 1 p.m. until the Labour Day weekend.  A comprehensive registration package is available here: Art Under the Trees Penticton Application  More info is available at Leir House:  250-492-7997 or  artisan220 @ hotmail.com.

On Saturday August 30, See Ya Later Ranch hosts the Dog Days of Summer event at the ranch in aid of the BCSPCA. They invite local artists and businesses to showcase their products and services in return for a $25 donation to the SPCA. The $25 donation is payable directly to the SPCA and in return you would be allocated tented space, table and chair. After August 1, the donation is $30, so book sooner rather than later!  See Ya Later promotes the event via websites, social media, print advertising and through the winery, and attracts an audience of approximately 200 – 300 people to this event.
