Beginning in June and continuing to September, between 4:00 and 8:00 pm on the second Wednesday of the month, Oak Bay Village is transformed into a European style street market. A wide range of fresh and local produce and food is available. Artists and artisans showcase a variety of wares including wood turned bowls, hand made greeting cards, glass art, paper casting, fabric arts, jewelry, toys, fresh made soaps and cosmetics and preserves. Each market also offers local music, a magician, face painting and balloon animals. The stores of Oak Bay merchants are open with special pricing, tastings, demos, sampling and more. The Oak Bay Night Market, held rain or shine, is organized by the Oak Bay Business Improvement Association. For more info, visit the Oak Bay Business Improvement Association website.
