The opening night of the 2019 Sooke Night Market was on Thursday June 6.

Held on Thursday nights on the grounds of the Sooke Region Museum, the weekly community event organized by the museum is an opportunity for local vendors to sell their wares and for the local community to enjoy a leisurely event in the evening ahead of the weekend.

Parking fills up pretty fast for the 5 to 8 pm evening market.
