I attended the Equinox Night Market, Perth, Ontario, last Thursday evening. It’s a public culinary event produced by Midnight Makers Collective, sponsored by Perth Tourism and featuring some of Perth’s finest Chefs, food and beverage services and manufacturers. Music and lights added to the atmosphere as the night evolved. People convene around food; this was a great idea and well executed.

While setting up their tables and fare, the rain came down; but, the exhibitors’ spirits held up. The place dried up in time for the crowd that grew, undaunted. The event continued into the night. Sadly, I filmed before the lights twinkled and the musicians filled the place with music; but, I have seen a few nice shots in social media.
Among the many exhibitors:
- Mex &Co.
- The Stone Cellar (Chopped Canada Champion Chef Nick Valiquette featured)
- Loon Kombucha
- Picnic Catering
- The Hungry Planet
- Fine Chocolates by Ludwig (Chocolatier featured)
- The Pie Bar
- Heritage Bikes and Rentals (espresso baristas)
- East Meets West
- Top Shelf Craft Distillers
And also featuring young Jonathan busking.
How I do like getting behind the scenes and so, I did. Enjoy this short, playful video.
