The LaSalle Night Markets have made their return.
The first market of the season was held Sunday evening at the LaSalle Civic Centre on Malden Road. Jordyn Rafuse, supervisor of recreation for the Town of LaSalle, was happy with how things went.
“It’s going really well,” she said. “It’s well attended.”There were approximately 80 vendors, which compares well to what they usually get. Rafuse said they were from all over Essex County and Windsor and featured food, artisans, produce, local businesses and much more.
“I think it’s great to be able to provide this to our residents,” said Rafuse. “People can enjoy the music, shop and eat. Ensuring that our residents are happy is good enough for us.”
Rafuse noted that while a lot of LaSalle residents attend, people from around the region turn out as well. Vendors from Amherstburg, Windsor, Essex and other areas have their own customers that come out to enjoy what is being sold as well as the market itself.
“We definitely get a good variety of residents,” said Rafuse.
The LaSalle Night Market runs the last Sunday of every month from 4-8 p.m. Rafuse pointed out they are scheduled for the LaSalle Civic Centre from May through August while the September market will be moved to the Event Centre at LaSalle Landing.
The next big event in LaSalle is the Strawberry Festival, which runs June 5-8 at the Vollmer Centre. There will be midway rides, food, artisans, vendors, entertainment and more over that four-day period.
Rafuse said more events that the Town of LaSalle offers are found on the municipality’s website at www.lasalle.ca. There is an event calendar that she said is updated even with third party events on it.
