North by Night Market time

“Night markets are really common all over the world in larger cities,” says the Food Wolf‘s Natalie Chavarie. “This is the start of an idea that’ll express itself into a full blown north end farmers market in two years.” She’s talking about this Friday’s (June 13) North by Night Market—an event that the Food Wolf and web design/innovation firm Norex have cooked up.

They’ll co-present North by Night on the second Friday of the month, rain or shine, until September. The corner of Gottingen and Falkland street, which the Food Wolf has lovingly dubbed Squiggle Park, will host loads of action for the inaugural event, like the Halifax Press, fresh veggies, tarot readings, henna, Manual Coffee, vintage clothes, a lemonade stand from EDNA, Agricola Street Brasserie’s cotton candy stand, the Food Wolf and some surprises, too. Basically, it’s going to be magical.

“There are a lot of medium and small businesses in the north end and it’s our job as a small business to create a cradle for smaller vendors to exist,” says Chevarie. Stop by Squiggle from 8pm to 11pm to get in on the good times, and make sure to hashtag it #NXNMRKT.
