Cloverdale Market Days returns May 24 with its biggest season yet—shop local vendors, enjoy live music, street food, family fun, and free parking in downtown Cloverdale.
Downtown Cloverdale is set to buzz with excitement as Cloverdale Market Days returns for its 2025 season, launching May 24 with the largest lineup in the festival’s history.
Hosted by the Cloverdale Arts and Entertainment Association (CAEA), the popular open-air street market will transform 176th Street into a vibrant hub of shopping, food, and live entertainment for five Saturdays this summer—May 24, June 21, July 26, August 23, and September 13.
“This May’s event is shaping up to be our biggest yet,” said CAEA President Paige Hardy. “We have more vendors and food trucks than ever before, including a great mix of returning favourites and exciting new additions.”
A Culinary Street Party
Foodies can look forward to a diverse lineup of food trucks spread across both sides of 176th Street at 57th Avenue. Featured vendors include Betty’s Greek Honey Ballz, I Heart Souvlaki, Lucente’s Osteria, Mr. Arancino, REEL Mac and Cheese, Taco Tigre, Zerellis Sandwich Shop, Hurricane Potato, and Twisted Lemon. Several trucks will offer vegan and gluten-free options to accommodate dietary needs.
Shop, Play, and Stay a While
With dozens of artisans and local businesses setting up shop, visitors can browse a wide array of handmade goods, crafts, clothing, and specialty items. “We’re proud to welcome many new vendors this year, alongside familiar faces from previous seasons,” Hardy noted.
Families can enjoy the return of the Kids’ Zone at Hawthorne Square, complete with balloon twisting by Korki, face painting by Jen, and roaming entertainment from stilt-walking and unicycling crowd-favourite Mr. Bubbles.
Live music will be another key highlight, with three dedicated busking zones featuring a rotating roster of local performers. The music stages will be located outside Michaud’s, Mason’s, and The Henry.
Free Parking and Community Spirit
Market Days runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on each festival date. Parking is free, with numerous lots surrounding the event area on 176th Street between 56A Avenue and 58th Avenue.
“This is more than just a market—it’s a community celebration,” Hardy said. “Whether you’re shopping, eating, listening to music, or just strolling through, Market Days is a great way to discover the heart of Cloverdale.”
