The market usually runs from the May Long Weekend until Thanksgiving.

Whistler Village Market

Whistler is considered one of North America’s top ski resorts and a perennial favourite place to visit for outdoors enthusiasts. If you’re visiting the town to ski or do any recreational activities such as mountain biking in the summer months, drop by the Whistler Farmers’ Market to buy a snack to fuel up before your activity or buy a snack after to re-energize.

With as many as 90 vendors on busy weekends in the summer, the Whistler Farmers’ Market is one of the largest markets of its kind in the region.

At the market, there are a small number of vendors selling organic vegetables and other farm-fresh produce. There are also numerous artisans selling everything from pottery to clothing, gourmet chocolate and other treats.

About the Market

The market weekends in May of this year featured around 60 to 70 vendors. This was more than a couple years ago, but still fewer than in pre-pandemic times when 100 or so vendors participated in total over the course of the season.

Merchants each week include those selling farm products and others selling both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. There are also vendors serving hot foods, sweets and other treats, as well as specialty food products. There are a couple of pet-related vendors most weeks, as well as a dozen or so artisans selling everything from jewellery to knitted goods to handmade soaps.
