The pair started hosting the Market Fusion events in June of 2008 and have been increasing their fan base with every iteration of the event – which usually kicks off at 2pm on a Friday and continues into the evening.

A decent departure from the club scene, attendees rubbed shoulders with the beautiful people, musicians, artists, film-types and fashionistas, all for a good cause – monies going to the David Suzuki Foundation.
