My favourite place to go on a Saturday morning is the
Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market. The market is open during most other days of
the week as well, but there are less vendors; the best day to go is on Saturday
- the earlier in the morning the better. I love going to the market because
there are so many different things to choose from, lots of free samples, and it
has an amazing atmosphere. Even if I do not need anything, I just like to
wander around and chat with some of the vendors; I don't think I have ever left
empty handed though. Some of our favourite things at the market include the
fresh herbs and flowers, The Naked Pickle's salsa, That Dutchmen's gouda cheese
(http://www.denhoek.ca/), and the homemade bread. The market also includes
local art, jewellery, candles, and much more. One of the best things about the
market is the live music. Most Saturday mornings local musicians play at the
market (harps, fiddles, guitars etc), which creates a great atmosphere.
This Saturday morning I went to the Market with my brother
who also lives in Halifax. It wasn't as busy as usual since it was a miserable
rainy day, but we still had a great time. We were offered some free wine
samples, and who can say no to that?
One of the other best things about the market is the
observation deck. The market is situated on Halifax's waterfront, so the
observation deck gives a nice view of the harbour and George's Island. As you
can probably see, it wasn't such a nice day and the water was really choppy,
but it is still a great view. You can also go up to the roof of the market; this is a great place to go and eat your purchases as well as enjoy the beautiful view. If you ever come to Halifax, I
highly recommend that you go to the market!
