The City of Calgary has a new pilot program launching summer.
The V.I.P., or Vendors in Parks, pop-up is aimed at helping support local businesses. The program will allow businesses to set up in tents to sell their products or services.
Vendors can reserve spaces in one of four designated parks: South Glenmore Park, Valleyview Park, Shouldice Park, and Prairie Winds Park.

The city will provide the tents, which will be able to accommodate up to two vendors.
The pop-ups will run Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. through the summer months. Businesses can rent out tents either daily or for three days at a time, with pricing $65 and $175 respectively.
Certain items are not allowed, including alcohol, marijuana, any political and religious promotion, and anything sexually explicit.
