Mild Temperatures during Grey weekend drew happy bargain hunting crowds to the Pigeon Park Street Market by the DTES Street Market Society in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES)
A big thank you to Chef Alain Chow of Winner Winner Chicken Dinner for his very generous donation of Chinese Style Pizza Buns to help feed the Street Market’s hungry vendors and volunteers 🙂
Peter Thompson shows off his new found art bought at the Street Market!
It’s always a good time to come shopping at the Street Market!
Many thanks to Todd Harris of Sanitation for City of Vancouver for helping us keep the Street Market neat and tidy!
