The Downtown Community Market is back for the 2026 season. Join us every Saturday from May 16 to September 5, 2026, in downtown Penticton.

The market is designed to bring together local vendors and community members for a day of shopping, entertainment, and connection. It features a wide variety of vendors selling everything from handmade crafts, clothing, and jewellery to unique specialty items. Support small businesses and entrepreneurs while enjoying a vibrant outdoor market atmosphere!

The market runs from 8:30 am – 1:30 pm at 200 Main Street, Front Street and Backstreet Boulevard.

Make sure to check out all of the great shops in downtown Penticton while you visit the market!

Ari Neufeld is a self-made one-man band, playing guitar, piano, banjo while singing and keeping time through an amplified stompbox, with ethnic beads, nuts and bells strapped to his body. His performance covers a variety of genres from folk to pop, to new country, to rhythmic soul, to rock but it is what he likes to coin as “Full Contact Folk”. It’s a vibrant blend of beat, melody and humour. 

You don’t have to work hard to enjoy Joshua Smith’s music. His songs present themselves to you with an open heart; They are clear-eyed, empathetic and penetrating, with an absolute lack of pretension. Without pandering, they seek to satisfy both your ear and your understanding. The verses draw you in with telling detail, both musical and thematic, and the choruses lift and deliver.
