New Farmers Artisan Market in Horseshoe Bay

The Horseshoe Bay Community Market is a weekly farmers market in the Village of Horseshoe Bay. It features a couple of dozen vendors selling locally-grown fruits and vegetables, handmade artisan goods and specialty foods.

The market launched in 2026. It is a community-focused event held on Saturdays in the summer and early fall.

Some of the artisan vendors at the market are from West Vancouver and elsewhere on the North Shore, while others are from further away. All, however, are local small businesses from somewhere in the Lower Mainland.

Other Things to do in the Area

Horseshoe Bay is in West Vancouver on Vancouver’s North Shore. If you head north from the village, you’ll be heading up the Sea-to-Sky Highway towards Squamish and Whistler. If you head east from Horseshoe Bay, you’ll pass through the rest of West Vancouver before arriving in North Vancouver. Stanley Park in the City of Vancouver, meanwhile, is just 17 km away via the Lions Gate Bridge. The entire region is spectacularly beautiful with lots to see!

Either before or after visiting the market, we suggest you do a number of things. Go for a walk around the village. It’s a cute place! A short drive away is Whytecliff Park. It’s a beautiful spot (and a nice place for a picnic with the food and drinks you buy at the market). Lighthouse Park also isn’t far away.

Unless you are visiting the Horseshoe Bay Community Market only briefly before hurrying on your way up the Sea-to-Sky Highway, or to Vancouver Island via BC Ferries, consider spending some time in Horseshoe Bay and elsewhere on the North Shore. Ambleside Park, Dundarave Beach, North Vancouver’s Shipyards District and tourist attractions like Capilano Suspension Bridge are all not too far away.
