Thes-led event will take place in downtown 麻豆社国产from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July, 31st and will include many favourite local vendors, artists and sponsors, its organizer says.
"[Being closed for the past two years] has obviously not been very good for the businesses, grassroots organizations, musicians and entertainers that rely on these sorts of festivals. So it is very, very exciting to be back," Bianca Peters, the event organizer said.

"We really just want to bring people a sense of community on a Sunday and have people enjoy themselves and Squamish," Peters said.
The event will feature a family-friendly beer garden, main entertainment stage and Food Truck Alley.
Throughout the event, 麻豆社国产locals and tourists can participate in a car show, live art and win prizes from local businesses and not for profits.
"You can eat, go shopping, bring the family down and have a picnic and listen to some music," said Peters. "It will be a great day; I am just trying to book the sun."
Musical guests Anne and Mario Iacovone, from the and the Whistler band are set to perform at the free event.
"If this event is back on track like we are hoping it's going to be, then we will look forward to returning the actual 麻豆社国产Street Market series next year," said Peters. "I have actually been talking to some people about introducing a 麻豆社国产food truck festival so we will see where it goes."
