An outdoor market with over 20 vendors is taking over this Toronto parking lot

The season of spring markets has arrived, and if you’re looking for an excuse to do a little shopping this month, we have just the thing. Offline Market is bringing two days of outdoor shopping to Toronto this season. Here’s what you need to know.

On Saturday, May 23 and Saturday, June 6, Offline Market will take over the Ossington Green P parking lot.

What to expect

There, visitors will find over 20 different vendors who offer a variety of goods. We’re talking vintage clothing, handmade creations, delicious food and drink options, and much more.

Expect a DJ to keep you groovin’ and movin’ throughout the outdoor market. Ruru Baked ice cream will be in attendance to satisfy that sweet tooth.

And if you want to put that green thumb to work, there will be a Modern Bonsai workshop held by Kiiwa Studios.

You’ll also want to snap a picture of the massive installation acting as a “temporary storefront” for the day. It’s made out of over 400 shopping bags. Definitely camera worthy.

Stefan Miller, organizer of Offline Market, told Curiocity that this pop-up market is to help small businesses and creatives in Toronto who may be unable to secure a permanent spot in the city.

“The project is centered around the idea that many small businesses and creatives in the city are increasingly unable to access permanent retail space, so we wanted to create a temporary one ourselves in an under-utilized public space,” Miller said.

This is a great way to support local and also enjoy everything Toronto has to offer.

If you can’t make it this month, don’t worry because June is just around the corner. So gather your friends and make a plan!

See you there, Toronto.
