Market-goers rejoice: starting next week, you’ll have a second day to go to the Kitchener Market.

The announcement came alongside the start of summer growing on Friday.

“This is something we’re very excited about,” says Kim Feere, manager of the Kitchener Market, in a press release. “When we asked people what they wanted to see here, a second day market was definitely high on the list. So we decided to make it into a party and invite the whole community!”
