“Everything’s going to flow nicely… There’s more exposed brick so it’s a cozier feel, and it’s a lower ceiling as well. So it’ll be a different atmosphere.”He says the vendors will mostly be the same ones that visitors have grown to love over the years.Seafoam Lavender Farm co-owner Dave Belt says he’s excited about the move. He has been a vendor at Seaport for 11 years.
“Nearly all of the existing vendors will be making the big move and I think we’ll see a reinvigorated, vibrant Farmers’ Market once again.Tweet This“I am confident our customers will be delighted by the new market, once they see it,” Belt says. At the start of this year, the Halifax Port Authority said the vendors will be set up outdoors from May to October, under a permanent overhead canopy in the parking lot.But with cruise season canceled this year, Ferguson says there’s no rush to move.
“We’ve got this space for as long as we need it. Right now we’re working on the layout and different options available to us for the outdoor market… but there’s no real rush.”
