There were vendors almost everywhere inside and outside of the building . The farmers, food makers, handicraftmen, and artists were all neighbours. Mostly those hand made commodity, handcrafts, art works were displayed here and there among foods, vegetables, flowers...upstairs and downstairs...after all in the farmer's market they are not mainstream:). But let me say that without them, this market wouldn't be so attractive. Particularly, there were always a few groups of music players that played at certain places. No matter where you are, you could taste the different flavors of music from different kinds of instruments...there was even a piano sitting in the main hall. I didn't know who put it there. It seemed that different musicians could play it.
When I was in Halifax, I didn't know how good this market was even though I enjoyed selling and walking around there a lot. After I left Halifax, I had visited different farmer's markets in Canada and the US. I'd like to say that no one could match what I saw in Halifax. I felt mostly that was because these markets didn't have that special building and that heavily-artistic atmosphere that showed in the farmer's market in Halifax.
(I took these pics by a small camera randomly. If I were there now, I am sure I would take more pictures, I missed most of them. )
