How to Get Here and Where To Park:
Events will take place at the Gibsons Public Market, 473 Gower Point Road in lower Gibsons.

It is highly recommended to make reservations for the ferry if you are driving over.
There will be no on-site parking for the Saturday afternoon (1-4pm) event — there is street parking one block away on Dougall Road, Winn Road, S. Fletcher Road, and Gower Point Road at Dougall Park. Please be mindful of the neighbours’ driveways and yards.
