The nightmarket(markets in general)should be a 4 season event rather than limiting it to the Summer
Idea:
Many newcomers to our city come from places where night markets are a staple in society. Walking to the local market is a daily occurance, no matter the time of year. The downtown is often dead when it's not summer because of the lack of reliable markets and public spaces. Please allow businesses to use these venues so the city can be happier and healthier, and shed winter depression in the process.
Staff Feedback:
A great idea! Our big challenge is the number of staff it takes to run a market like the Garrison Night Market. We're very fortunate to have our summer students, who play an integral role, but they leave to go back to school in September. This, in addition to the Garrison Night Market being an open-air market, unfortunately makes year-round operations challenging and cost prohibitive.
