Our Story
More Than Markets. We're Building Community.
Creating Opportunities. Connecting Communities. Growing West Prince.
West Prince PEI Markets was born from a passion for supporting local businesses, celebrating creativity, and bringing people together.
I started this business because I believe West Prince is filled with incredible talent, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit. Behind every handmade product, home-based business, baked good, craft, and small business is someone with a dream, a passion, and a story worth sharing.
Those dreams deserve opportunities to grow.
I wanted to create something that would give local artisans, makers, bakers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners a place to showcase their products, connect with customers, gain exposure, and grow their businesses. I also wanted to give our communities more opportunities to come together, discover local talent, and experience everything our region has to offer.
That's how West Prince PEI Markets came to life.
Our Purpose Goes Beyond the Market
We're not just organizing markets. We're creating opportunities for small businesses, helping local entrepreneurs get noticed, and bringing West Prince communities together.
Every market is an opportunity to introduce customers to a new business, help a vendor make a connection, encourage someone to follow their passion, and bring people into our local communities.
We believe that shopping local is about more than making a purchase. It's about investing in people, supporting families, encouraging entrepreneurship, and keeping our communities vibrant.
When you purchase from a local vendor, you are helping someone build something of their own. When you attend a local market, you're supporting dozens of small businesses at once. When you share a vendor's post, you're helping their business reach someone new.
Every little bit makes a difference.
Our Vision for West Prince
Our vision is to create more opportunities for local businesses to succeed while showcasing the unique character, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit of West Prince, Prince Edward Island.
Through our markets and community events, we want to:
- Give local businesses opportunities to showcase and sell their products.
- Help emerging entrepreneurs gain exposure and build customer connections.
- Celebrate the incredible talent, creativity, and craftsmanship in our region.
- Encourage people to shop local and discover businesses they may not have known existed.
- Bring communities together through welcoming, family-friendly events.
- Strengthen our local economy by keeping support and spending within our region.
We want people to see West Prince not just as a place to live, but as a region filled with opportunity, talent, creativity, and wonderful small businesses.
A Community Built Together
Behind every vendor booth is a person who has invested their time, money, creativity, and heart into building something they believe in.
We are proud to provide a platform where those businesses can be seen, supported, and celebrated.
