The Arnprior Cultural Night Market was held Saturday. The event was the fourth in sequence, and the third under the watch of Museum Curator and Town Director of Culture, Emily Stovel.
Stovel believes today’s conversations help shape Arnprior’s tomorrows.
Councillor Chris Couper paid homage to our land’s first occupants.
Then stood in on behalf of the Mayor to welcome the crowd.
There was increased Indigenous participation- both with vendors, and performances.
This year John Street served as the vendors market in the schematic layout, with a healthy mix of sociological activity and on-the-spot research taking place.
Elgin Street from John to Daniel was populated by an array of food vendors and roving entertainers this year.
While all the fare looked mouth-watering, the longest-line honours were deemed a tie between a Filipino Food franchise from Ottawa, and the new location of Osmow’s Shawarma which recently opened in Uptown Arnprior.
For those of us hungry for information, your Oldies 107.7 reporter indulged in a series of interviews with exhibitors and vendors, which is assembled into the audio collage below.
We acknowledge the hard work that goes into the planning of the Cultural Night Market annually, and its growing success in the community and beyond.
