In addition, all market attendees are required to wear face masks, except while eating in the designated dining area. People who have a health condition that prevents them from safely wearing a mask and children under two years of age are also exempt from wearing masks.

The market runs in the lower level of Peterborough Square every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
