I really like this idea but I question how well it'll do at all - do folks foresee whatever vendors setup here will do well ?

If the vendors are good, absolutely. If it's well curated, this will have the much sought after Instagram-friendly word-of-mouth marketing vibe that retailers pine for.

If done right could be another Christmas Market style attraction.

I'm really happy to hear that they're going to bring in artists to paint them. The greyness of it was my only real gripe. Can't wait to see this in the summer!

Looks like a sweet new bar and hopefully patio for the area.

I'm not a huge fan of the astroturf lawns, but the green is nice at least.

Anyone know details about the lease for this property. I think it looks great but this seems like a huge operation for a temporary market. And generally vendors on park propoerty need to go through some sort of public process. Just seems a bit bizarre that all this is happening on public property with no public consultation.

Interesting mix of businesses going in (from their instagram).

Also tons of programming/events on their website already.

Looks like the Pavilion will be coming at a later date

More information on the container spaces

More general info (UT even gets a lil shoutout!)

Did they really have to go with Belgian Moon AKA Molson Coors?? Really gives off a corporate vibe here which is not what they are going for. Would have been much better to see a smaller Ontario brewer. Yes it takes deep pockets but I bet Beaus or Collective Arts could pull it off.
