Where: West End Farmers Market (1100 Comox St. – adjacent to Nelson Park)

What: Harvest Festival – Celebrate the bounty of fall at the market!
We’ll have seasonal recipes, an apple and squash display, games for kids of all ages, and we’ll be judging our BC Fall-Fruit Pie Competition. Once judging of the pie is complete we will be selling slices of pie for a $2 donation, if you fancy a slice – don’t wander too far.
