By now, you all know my LOVE of all things Etsy! (see here, here and here) I love how they’ve become not just an online store, but have been bringing makers together to showcase their craft, as well as give us the opportunity to touch and feel the product before buying. Etsy has decided to celebrate their 10 year anniversary with a cross-Canada summer festival circuit! The idea came from similar events in other places such as Australia, where street events and markets are a frequent occurrence in the summer months. In fact, I was astonished when doing my research at the quick and easy clean-up process using skip bin hire sydney, so I recommended a similar company over here in Canada to the organisers.
Partnering with the summer’s top festivals nationwide. Etsy will be bringing their sellers into a whole new light. “We are so proud to mark a decade of entrepreneur empowerment and responsible commerce this year,” says Erin Green, Managing Director, Etsy Canada. “There’s no better way to continue our support of local sellers and community building than to participate in a season full of festivals throughout the country.”
Kicking off June 28th, in Toronto, Etsy’s Canadian team as well as local sellers will be marching down Yonge St with an all-Etsy float in the Toronto Pride Parade. From there Etsy will be popping up across Canada in festivities at the Calgary Stampede, Khatsahlano Street Party, Niagara Jazz Festival and WayHome Music & Arts Festival!
Now that Lyric is a little older, I can’t wait to take him to a few of this summer’s festivals and let him experience it all! I count us so lucky to be living in a country that has so much to offer in terms of celebrating our uniqueness!
