A winter market in Stratford is going to keep running year-round to help small vendors get support from residents.

The Shakespeare Market, a spacious lot that was once the grounds of the Shakespeare Theatre, has socially distanced vendor tents along the perimeter.

Since opening in January, it's brought over 6,000 visitors in.

The winter market is planning to remain open year-round to continue to support local vendors.

The Shakespeare Market will open on the first and third Sundays of every month this year.
