Check out the Artisan's Pop Up Market at Filberg Park in Comox

 by Keith and Heather Nicol

Usually on the August 1 long weekend Filberg Park would be filled with artists selling their wares along with music performed at a couple of shady venues. But with Covid 19, everything is different. But Filberg Park is hosting Artisan's Pop Up Markets on weekends in July and August so since we had visitors for the August long weekend we decided to check it out. The Filberg Lodge and Park is great anytime of the year but you really appreciate the shade when and ocean breezes given the heat wave we are currently in. We dropped in on Saturday, July 31 with my brother Bruce and his wife Mary Ellen who were visiting from Victoria and 4 artists had their works on display next to the Lodge. Below Mary Ellen checks out the pottery display by Cathi Jefferson.

 

   The summer kitchen was also open and you could get tours of the lodge as well that my brother and his wife took advantage of since they had never been inside this amazing wooden structure. See photo below. So if you are looking for a pleasant outing to do on a summer weekend check out the artists and their displays at Filberg Lodge and Park. Its spectacular grounds are visit anyone but also be sure to check out their weekend activities. For more information see:  https://filberg.com/
