The market runs every Thursday 3-7, June 6 to October 10. The market is a joint venture between Farmers’ Markets Ontario (in charge of vendors/farmers) and the volunteers from the Danforth East Community Association (in charge of kids’ activities, local business/grower popups, community booths, special events like Pride and Bike Day, outreach, social media, and the market volunteer squad that keeps it all running!)
