Artisan Village
Every year the Morden Park bowl is filled with great music and great local handmade crafts! Our Artisan Village display of *Manitoba crafters features a variety of homemade products including: pottery, jewelry, paintings, fiber arts, natural cosmetics and more!
This year we will be joined by Foraged Finds! Many of the Foraged Find’s vendors will be in our village to show off their foraged goodies as well.
*Applications for Manitoba Crafters is open and available online at Pembina Hills Arts Council.
Beer Garden
For the first time in our 34 year history, The Back40 will have our very own living room under a tent where you can enjoy local beer and cider (and some non-local wine - since no one here makes it - yet!)
The Brick in Morden just came on board to sponsor our beer garden so there will be some cozy seating in the shade - but also - if you like a standard beer garden experience, we’ve got tables and chairs donated by the City of Morden out in the sun for your tanning pleasure as well! ha :)
Food Vendors
Vendors are set up along the top North-East side of the Park Bowl. Support some of our local food companies and enjoy a wide variety of yummy food!
