The 2010 Downtown Farmers' Market
opened yesterday to enthusiastic patrons. The downtown market was
developed through a partnership between the Downtown BRZ, Exhibition
Park and the City of Lethbridge. This is the 5th year that the Farmers'
Market has been in downtown Lethbridge and it is definitely growing in
both size and popularity.
The market has been a welcomed
addition to the downtown experience. Business owners, employees and
residents from neighbouring areas such as London Road look forward to
the start of the Downtown Farmers' Market.
Farmers' Market
visitors were treated to top-notch live music courtesy of the Buskers
Association and the Downtown Lethbridge BRZ. The Downtown BRZ was
excited to unveil their new popcorn cart to the public.
Opening day featured 21 vendors that included; Darz
Barz Baked Goods, Tia's Chuckwagon Baked Goods, Ecuadorinkas, Elusis
Beads, JAG Jewellery, Epicure Spices and Dips, the Lighthouse Bakery,
Armada Colony, Jewels of Magnetic Therapy, Stella and Dot Jewellery,
Broxburn Vegetables, New Rock Port Colony, Ammonite and Gemstone
Jewellery, Richard Law's Okanagan Fresh Fruit, Luna Fresca and many more!
The
market takes place every Wednesday, July 7 to September 15 from 10:00
a.m. until 3:00 p.m. It's located on Festival Square between 3rd and

Serious Music Centre featured on Downtown blog
Posted on: Friday, May 21, 2010
Serious Music Centre manager, Chuck Lawson,
took some time out of his busy day to talk to us about what makes their
downtown Lethbridge store such a popular destination with southern
Alberta musicians.
One of the highlights of the 'serious' tour was seeing an 8-string, left-hand, Galveston
bass guitar. In all his years in the music business, Chuck has never
seen anything like it. It's definitely a must see for fans of unique
musical instruments. Read more about the Serious Music Centre on the Downtown blog www.ourdowntown.blogspot.com.

Free Two-hour Parking for Downtown Shoppers!
Posted on: Thursday, December 10, 2009
City Council recently approved a recommendation by the Downtown BRZ and
the Downtown Redevelopment Steering Committee (DRSC) to provide
two-hour regulated parking in the downtown for the Christmas shopping
season. During this period of time, shoppers will not have to plug
meters and will have up to two-hours to dine, meet for coffee or stroll
through the downtown searching for that perfect gift.
The
two-hour regulated parking will be in effect from December 7-25, 2009.
The parking meters included in the program will be covered for the
entire duration, with bags displaying a two-hour parking sign. If a
parking meter is not covered, it is in operation. This includes all 38
minute and 10-hour parking meters, as well as, a small number of
parking meters adjacent to businesses who have requested that their
meters remain in operation.
