The Sunday edition of the 124 Grand Market opens this weekend in Wîhkwêntôwin. (Supplied) For the 13th year in a row, the 124 Grand Market will be bringing some extra bustle to the heart of Wîhkwêntôwin this Sunday. The market includes over 80 rotating vendors offering a variety of goods including fresh local produce, handmade artisan wares and street food. 102 Avenue off of 124 Street will be closed for the market which will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Live entertainment can be enjoyed in front of the Robertson Wesley United Church, courtesy of the 124 Grand Market Busker Series. Families can also take part in the Little Beans program which introduces kids ages 4-12 to fresh, local foods and educates them about where food comes from. The program has been part of the market since 2015 and aims to encourage healthy nutrition and conscientious consumer habits. The market's counterpart on 108 Avenue has been open since May 15. Both markets will be open until Thanksgiving weekend. The 124 Grand Market will also hold night markets in different neighbourhoods across the city. You can visit their website to see when and where the next one is.

124 Street Grand Market returns tonight, Sunday market on June 1
The 124 Street Grand Market will hold its first weekly Thursday market tonight from 4 to 8 p.m. The flagship market of the Edmonton Grand Markets is located at 108 Avenue and 124 Street. The Sunday market at 102 Avenue and 124 Street will launch on June 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Both markets will run until Thanksgiving weekend. A Saturday Grand Market at South Edmonton Common that was introduced in 2024 will not be held this year. Instead, the focus will be on adding Friday night market dates. 'The expansion in 2024 was well-received but the vendor and customer bandwidth isn't quite there. Folks are feeling stretched and we need to do more with less,' Grand Markets owner Krista Franke said in a news release. 'As a result Grand Markets Edmonton will concentrate on Thursday, Friday and Saturday locations and increase their program offerings to better serve the community.' The market will also run the Little Beans program at the Sunday market to give children the opportunity to connect with growers and learn where their food comes from.
