On Thurs. July 20th, 2017, St. Lawrence Market was transformed into a downtown oasis of food, drink, music, performance and celebration. This was my second year attending the #Summerseries event (recap of St. Lawrence Market Summer Series Season 1 experience) and it was another evening to remember!
If you happen to miss it, don’t you worry as the next event will be on Thursday, August 24, 2017, from 6 p.m. – 10 p.m (ticket info and to buy tickets).
2017 St. Lawrence Market Summer Series 2 Highlights:
- Having my sister as my plus one, and hanging out with my close blogger friends. We had so much fun, we were there until closing time!
- It was well organized with a good number of food and drink vendors.
- Less humid than last year. Everything about being on a patio on a warm summer night is what I love about summer.
- There was a station that provided hair clips with fresh flowers for guests, as well a service to get beautiful henna designs done…free of charge! How awesome is that?!
- Lots of live entertainment throughout the evening. I am a big fan of Liz Lokre and was happy to see that she was performing once again.
