It’s all systems go for the Robson Spooky Pop Up Market.
I decided to move the event from Vancouver City Hall to behind the Art Gallery on Robson where all the shoppers of the city generally gather.
Robson Street is always bustling and I expect a good mix of local and tourist shoppers but being October I’d expect more locals. Im not aware of Vancouver being a Halloween destination but I do know there are Halloween activities downtown like the walking ghost tours in gastown.
