Want to know where your favourite vendor is located? Check out our location maps below. You can click on the vendor location dot and find out more information about that specific vendor. Note that these maps are linked to another program that is used to create the vendor location information and is automatically updated to the website at various times though the process and as a result you may not be viewing the map the represents the vendors that will actually be at the market.
