We will be raffling off another free Kayak Rental! Come by and enter to win.

Although there is an ordinance in place, we are approved and able to continue our live music on Saturdays at the Vendors Market!
Here is our lineup as of right now, come out, enjoy the music, shop local vendors, and support live performers!

Sad to hear that Sunday La Conner Live may be canceled, but I know this town and community, we always come together and find a way!
Let’s keep showing up, supporting local artists, and making our music scene stronger than ever.

We’re in the news! How exciting 🫶🏻 a couple days till our kick off market, can not wait! Hope to see everyone come support and have fun 🎉 The Market will be hosted at the La Conner Marina

The La Conner Vendors Market is an initiative led by Katie Beardsley, the owner of La Conner Paddles — a kayak rental business that opened last fall in downtown.

Check out this awesome clip of Vern from Vernski’s tree service carving a stump into a stool with a chainsaw! He’ll be doing a live carving performance at the market as a fun way to connect with the community and showcase a new skill he’s been practicing.

Vern doesn’t carve stools as part of his tree service, his business focuses on tree removal
and professional tree work, but he wanted to bring something entertaining and unique to the event.

He’ll also be raffling off the stools he carves at the market, so be sure to stop by, say hi, and enter for a chance to win one!

Go check out Vernskis Tree Service, and come watch him in action at the market this Saturday, April 25th.

Exciting news! The town hall meeting presentation went great, and we’ve officially been approved to host a Vendors Market here in beautiful La Conner. We’ll be offering 10 market dates from April through September, with April 25th as our big kickoff event!
I’m looking forward to welcoming both locals and visitors alike.
Join us 9 AM to 1 PM at the Marina, it’s going to be a fantastic season!
