Arnprior’s annual Cultural Night Market is Saturday, August 23rd, from 4-9PM.
Emily Stovel is Arnprior’s Museum Curator and Coordinator of Cultural Activities. This is the third Cultural Night Market under her watch.
This year Stovel tells us there’s no “second stage” on Elgin.
Emily tells us every year a significant amount of planning goes into putting the Cultural Night Market and its activities together.
Stovel says that as Arnprior evolves, the Cultural Night Market doesn’t so much reflect the diversity, rather, it stands as a sign post.
The Museum Curator says there are people in the community who take their roles in helping shape the Town’s direction very seriously.
Serious stuff, true; but while the Cultural Night Market involves a lot of planning, we can’t neglect that what happens Saturday has its significant elements of spontaneity
The Cultural Night Market involves significant street closures as both John and Elgin Streets surrender to an array of vendors, information booths, entertainment and eats from 4-9PM Saturday.
