Two Decades of Delight: The Bunny Park Food and Craft Market Turns 20

As the caretakers of the Bunny Park’s rich history, it is with immense joy that we share the story of an event that has become a beloved part of our park’s culture. On January 30, 2021, despite the embrace of gentle rains, the Bunny Park Food and Craft Market celebrated a remarkable 20th anniversary—a testament to community, craftsmanship, and continuity.

A Market of Milestones

This craftsmen’s enclave, nestled within the greenspace of the Bunny Park, began its journey in 2001 and quickly became a gathering place for those seeking unique, handcrafted treasures and the warmth of local hospitality. Amidst the festivities, Janine Richardson and her mother, Joan Gould, the dedicated duo behind the market, beamed with pride at the longevity and success of their endeavor.

The Visionaries Behind the Vibrancy

Janine and Joan’s dedication transcends the mere act of running a market; it’s woven into their identity as crafters themselves. Their hands have shaped not only their wares but the very essence of the market’s community. “It has been a labor of love,” Janine expressed. “We understand the intricacies of craftwork, the dedication it takes, and we share a kinship with every vendor who joins us.”

A Pause and A Promise

While the market had paused for two years during the Bunny Park’s renovations, its return was nothing short of triumphant, sparking renewed excitement in the hearts of loyal attendees and first-time visitors alike. This hiatus highlighted the market’s significance to the community—a source of livelihood for many, an avenue for artistic expression, and a hub for togetherness.

Forward with Hope and Handicraft

Looking ahead, Janine radiates optimism for the future of the market. Even as the world navigates the complexities brought on by the pandemic, there is a hope that the market will not only persevere but thrive anew. “The market stands as a beacon for all who find solace in creation and commodity,” she shared, casting her gaze towards a year brimming with potential.

Celebrating Community and Craft

As we commemorate this landmark anniversary, we are reminded of the magic that unfolds when hands and hearts come together to create and share. The Bunny Park Food and Craft Market serves as a canvas for our community’s talents, a place where food, art, and the joy of discovery interlace in celebration of what it means to be a part of the fabric of the Benoni Bunny Park.

We warmly invite all to partake in this enduring tradition and experience the wonder of the Bunny Park Market. May it continue to flourish, inviting smiles and inspiring stories for many more anniversaries to come.
