Portobello West

This monthly indoor market enables more than 100 local artists and designers to display and sell their work. Prices are reasonable and you’ll find an amazing selection that can include hand-painted boots, striking original paintings, unique ceramics and just about everything in between. There’s usually a party atmosphere, as DJs spin their stuff and food vendors give you something to munch on while you peruse the goods. To get here from the Main St-Science World SkyTrain station, walk east along Terminal Ave to Cottrell St. Turn right and the station building is just ahead of you. Admission is free in some summer months when the weather is good enough to hold the event outside.
