A new, specialty artisan market is coming to East Vancouver, giving the community another destination to shop small and local this holiday season. The Coho Makers Market is a series of three Saturday pop-up markets located at Coho Coffee (1370 East Georgia Street), running on October 23, November 27, and December 11, 2021. Shoppers will have the chance to meet local entrepreneurs, including artists, food vendors, and food trucks.
“Our Street Food Series was very well received this summer, and we are excited to continue promoting local businesses of all kinds with the launch of our inaugural Coho Makers Market at Coho Coffee,” says Jennifer Chan, CMO at Coho Collective. “Our dream has always been to utilize our space to highlight the creativity in community. These small pop-up events are a great way for people of all ages to discover and meet some of our city’s most talented local artists and food entrepreneurs.”
