Experience the abundance and creativity of the Creston Valley at the award-winning Creston Valley Farmers’ Market! Located in the heart of the valley, this year-round market brings together the region's most talented artisans and dynamic food producers, showcasing the best of what the valley has to offer. From juicy fruits and veggies to locally-raised meats, fresh eggs, and sweet honey, the market has it all. But the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market is more than just a foodie’s paradise. It's also a hub for local artisans who showcase their beautifully handcrafted pottery, soaps, jewelry, textiles, paintings, and more. During the summer months, the outdoor market is located beside the Creston Valley Visitors Centre in downtown Creston and is a buzzing hub of activity on Saturday mornings until the afternoon. As the weather cools, the market moves indoors to the Creston & District Community Complex from Thanksgiving until Christmas. After the new year until March, the market slows to once a month, allowing farmers and artisans time to replenish their stock and prepare for planting. Whether you're in the mood for a morning of shopping or just want to soak up the vibrant community atmosphere, the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market is a must-visit destination. 115 NW Blvrd, Creston BC (Summer Outdoor) 312 19th Ave N., Creston BC (Winter Indoor) 250-254-1594 www.cvfac.ca/farmersmarket

The rustic Wilderness Riverside Park currently provides the only public access to the Goat River along a nice stretch of river rock sandbar on the river just south of Creston on Highway 21. The park is an excellent place to enjoy a beautiful Kootenay day. In the summer take a dip in the cool refreshing river, have a picnic and enjoy a first-class river-seated sunset. Alternatively on a crisp autumn morning have a wander along the calm waters edge among the old river stones and contemplate life just a little bit deeper. Operated by the Creston Valley Trails Society the park has limited amenities to preserve the natural habitat, with a small parking area, a portable toilet & a short trail to the riverside. Access to the park is via Sealy Road on the west side of Highway 21 just past the Goat River bridge, which is an unpaved and slightly bumpy dirt road. *** Please be respectful of residents who live on this road by driving slowly, keeping the noise down and leaving no trace! Finally note that as this area opens onto surrounding wetlands and can be quite lively with mosquitos in the early summer bug spray and appropriate clothing is advisable. www.crestonvalleytrails.ca
