Throughout the year, the Brentwood Lifestyle Center, located off of Crowchild Trail NW, opens its doors to local vendors and community members. Since its debut in 2017, The Local Goods Curated Market has been a chance for local businesses to showcase their work, make some sales, and get some exposure to their brand. The event is free to attend, is child and pet-friendly, and accessible to those with physical limitations.

This January, an array of items including thrift clothing, artisan snacks, hand-made paintings, and smoker accessories were on display and for sale. While prices range, there is no shortage of free samples and small stickers to take home. The market takes place seasonally with the next market date being March 2, 2024.
