The streets will be brimful with over 100 vendors; some of the Comox Valley - and beyond - very best. There is something for everyone to do and enjoy! It all happens on 5TH Street, Duncan Ave., and England Ave., right in the heart of Downtown Courtenay. Things to do during Market Day…

BOUNCE-A-RAMA! For more great fun, the Downtown Courtenay BIA sponsors a bouncer for kids to jump to their heart’s content. Expend some of that excess energy and help raise funds for the Today N Tomorrow Learning Society who will be ensuring that the kids are safe and enjoying the facility. The bouncer is located on England Avenue near Fifth Street. ************************ 4th ANNUAL LORD SCRUFFINGTON SCHOOL OF FARM ARTS - The Comox Valley Exhibition and Comox Valley Art Council will once again present this very popular kid’s art workshop. Led by local artists, the kids will love creating and painting farm animal plaques while learning a little more about our animal friends. With the CVEX ‘Farmer for a Day’ display right next door there will be no shortage of fun. The artwork will then be displayed on the chain-link fence while entering the Comox Valley Exhibition Fall Fair. Don’t forget to find your masterpiece while visiting the Comox Valley Exhibition in August. ************************
