Summer Events in Charlottetown Kick Off at Founders Food Hall & Market
Summer is finally here, and Founders’ Food Hall & Market is throwing a party. On June 20, we’re hosting the Summer Kick-Off Night Market right here in Charlottetown. This is one of those events that feels like the official start of something special. Think live music, local vendors, incredible food, and good energy. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, you’re going to love this one.
What’s On at the Summer Kick-Off Night Market
From 3 PM to 9 PM, there’s something for everyone at Founders’. The afternoon kicks off with Brooke MacArthur on the outdoor stage from 3 to 4:30 PM. Then Liv & the Band takes over from 5 to 6:30 PM. Just after that, keep your eyes on the stage. The fire dancers perform at 6:35 PM. And to close out the night, The Wannabeez bring the energy from 7 to 9 PM.
Between sets, there are food vendors and retail shops to explore inside and out. But the fun doesn’t stop at music. There’s a full Outdoor Play Zone running from 3 to 8 PM. One bracelet gets kids face painting, inflatables, mini golf, and more. The Live Portrait Station runs from 3:30 to 7:30 PM, so you can take home something truly one of a kind. Little Dutch Flowers is setting up a flower crown station from 3 to 8 PM, while supplies last. And the Patio BBQ featuring Big Burger fires up from 4 to 8 PM.
This is the kind of Summer event that gives you stories to tell. Mark it in your calendar and come ready to soak it all in.
A Summer Night Market for All Ages in Charlottetown
One of the best things about this event is that it’s genuinely for everyone. Whether you’re coming with little ones, your crew, or making a solo outing, there’s room for you here. Kids can bounce, paint, and play all afternoon. Teens and adults can browse local shops, grab food from vendors, and enjoy the outdoor music scene. There’s even a live portrait artist capturing the vibe from 3:30 to 7:30 PM.
The food and retail vendors round out the experience beautifully. Founders has always been a meeting place for this community. The Night Market is a chance to discover new favourites and support local businesses. It’s the kind of Summer energy that makes Charlottetown so special to call home.
It’s also a great date night once the sun starts to dip. The Wannabeez close out the evening from 7 to 9 PM on the outdoor stage. The Summer air, the music, the good company. That’s what Summer events in Charlottetown are all about.
Is the Summer Kick-Off Night Market Free to Attend?
Most of the event is free! The outdoor music and general market atmosphere don’t cost a thing. Some activities and food options are paid separately. The Outdoor Play Zone bracelet covers face painting, inflatables, mini golf, and more. It’s great value if you’re bringing kids. The Patio BBQ with Big Burger is also a paid food option. Food vendor pricing varies by stand. So come on down, enjoy the music, and spend as little or as much as you’d like.
