Vendors Wanted!


If you're a baker, crafter, farmer, entertainer or anything in between, then City Centre would love to hear from you!


City Centre McMurray's goal is to become a vibrant urban community that fosters a rich cultural experience and a sense of belonging for all residents. And the Urban Market certainly fits the bill, bringing fresh locally-prepared food, home-baked goods, crafted gifts and more to the downtown core.
The 2013 pilot Urban Market was a huge success and an instant community favourite. With the enthusiasm of our vendors and the support of our community, the Urban Market is returning to the City Hall, 9909 Franklin Avenue, with a full bi-weekly program from June 18 to October 8, 2014.
Are you a fantastic cook or baker?
Do you grow organic or free-range food?
Do you make furniture, soap, candles or other crafts?
The 2014 City Centre McMurray Urban Market is looking for vendors like you!
Please contact our Market Manager, Amanda Herbert at urban.market@woodbuffalo.ab.ca or at 780.215.2669 to find out what you need to run a great booth. Or visit http://www.citycentremcmurray.com/urban-market for more information.
