Sunday edition of 124 Grand Market makes season debut this weekend
For the 13th year in a row, the 124 Grand Market will be bringing some extra bustle to the heart of Wîhkwêntôwin this Sunday.
The market includes over 80 rotating vendors offering a variety of goods including fresh local produce, handmade artisan wares and street food.
102 Avenue off of 124 Street will be closed for the market which will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Live entertainment can be enjoyed in front of the Robertson Wesley United Church, courtesy of the 124 Grand Market Busker Series.
Families can also take part in the Little Beans program which introduces kids ages 4-12 to fresh, local foods and educates them about where food comes from. The program has been part of the market since 2015 and aims to encourage healthy nutrition and conscientious consumer habits.
The market's counterpart on 108 Avenue has been open since May 15. Both markets will be open until Thanksgiving weekend.
The 124 Grand Market will also hold night markets in different neighbourhoods across the city. You can visit their website to see when and where the next one is.

Edmonton man aims for longest ferris wheel ride at KDays to raise money for charity
An Edmonton man plans to spend 54 hours on the ferris wheel at KDays to raise money for an organization that grants wishes to sick children. An Edmonton man is spending 54 consecutive hours on the ferris wheel at KDays to help raise money to help the dreams of sick kids come true. Chris Scheetz, fund manager for Alberta Dreams, says he'll only be allowed a five minute bathroom break each hour, even when KDays shuts down for the night. 'At 11 o'clock they're going to keep me up in the air and I'm just going to hang out there, literally hang out, and wait for it to start again the next day,' Scheetz told CTV News Edmonton on Monday. He plans to raise $54,000 for Alberta Dreams, a foundation that helps fulfill wishes for Alberta children with serious illnesses. While spending almost two days in the air might seem intimidating, he's up for the challenge. 'Their lives (sick children) are always difficult, so 54 hours will be nothing for me,' he said. 'I think I can do it, I'm going to be powered by mini donuts.' Scheetz says he hopes to break the current world record, which sits at 53 consecutive hours on a ferris wheel. The money raised will help grant 50 wishes this year. The 54-hour ferris wheel ride will end Wednesday at 5 p.m. With files from CTV News Edmonton's Amanda Anderson
