VB Country Market opens Saturday June 19 10 AM to 1PM and runs each Saturday until September 4 2021.
With Manitoba’s current Code ORANGE COVID protocols in place, the VB Country Market will open Saturday June 19 on the grounds of the Victoria Beach Community Centre located on Highway 59N at Ateah Road.
The market is considered an essential service and falls within the retail protocols as outlined in Manitoba government public health orders. We are asking that in order to keep the country market open, if you are unwell please stay home.
It is a summer event we all look forward to and we are monitoring the situation and health orders closely. We plan to keep our market open, but if at any point we are ordered by a public official to close the country market, we will comply and update this webpage with details.
This year we are selling tickets for a raffle -- "The best sleep of your life" (LGCA 1723-RF-35897) in support of future outdoor development including adding accessible play structure item(s) and enhancing the skatepark/basketball surface area. Thank you to Dave's Furniture and Appliances of Powerview-Pine Falls Manitoba (PH; 204-367-2460) for donating the Dreamstar Royal Riviera Mattress and Boxspring valued at $2,000. Tickets available at the market.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE VB COUNTRY MARKET

The market will be in a "L" shape with the entrance along Highway 59N and rounding through the trees into the ball park area.
Here are the COVID actions we and our market sellers are taking to protect our community:
