If you haven’t been to the Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market yet, here’s a special event to tempt to you: The Flamenco Paella Party.
The event is coming up on Saturday, Aug. 11 during regular market hours, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
You’ll be able to see a chef demo and learn the seven secrets to creating authentic Spanish paella, try out paella plates (onsite ticket purchase is required, while quantities last), and enjoy live flamenco music and dance by Toque Flamenco.
It’s free, but the market’s website notes that tipping the band, dancers and chef is encouraged if you want to show your appreciation.
And while you’re there, of course, you can shop the usual array of market foods and artisan goods, enjoy live entertainment and eat from the on-site food vendors. The markets take place in the north parking lot at Burnaby City Hall, 4949 Canada Way. See www.artisanmarkets.ca for the details.
