Formerly called the Poirier Street Farmers Market, the Coquitlam Farmers Market takes place on Sundays in Coquitlam between early May and late October.
Coquitlam Farmers Market
The Coquitlam market has been running for close to 30 years. It offers a selection of products that are “made, baked, grown or raised in BC.” The market was founded in 1997 by students from Simon Fraser University. The idea was to create a community economic development project that connects local producers with consumers from Coquitlam.
Items for sale at the Coquitlam Farmers Market include farm-fresh produce and baked goods. As well, you can browse everything from handmade jewellery to candles, art, wine and chocolate. A number of food trucks serve a variety of tasty treats for lunch and snacks.
On busy weekends over 60 vendors participate, making it one of Metro Vancouver’s largest farmers markets.
When and Where
The Coquitlam Farmers Market happens on Sundays from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm. In 2025 it likely runs from May 4th until October 26th.
Located in central Coquitlam, the market takes place outdoors at the Dogwood Pavilion by the corner of Winslow Avenue and Poirier Street. The venue’s address is 1655 Winslow Avenue. It’s just behind the Poirier Library at 624 Poirier Street.
TIP: In case you were interested, Mundy Park is a large urban park that’s just 1 km (or a 15-minute walk) east of the farmers market. The park has an outdoor swimming pool in the summer, forest trails and a small lake to walk around.
