Celebrate local abundance and culture in the Slocan Valley! Food, music, fun, art, friends, flowers, crafts, community. And more. This heartwarming event is what we all make it.

Market/Bazaar opens at 10am, potluck gathers at 5pm, serves at 6pm. Bring yourself, your friends and family, whatever you have in abundance, and something scrumptious made from ingredients from around here. And a musical instrument if you play one.

Monica Carpendale and the Kutenai Art Therapy folks will be working and playing with anyone who want to join them to make beautiful objects all day long!

This popular community event is a wonderful reminder of how rich we are in the things that matter, and an affirmation of why we live here. Come and enjoy!
