Lower Mainland Thursday Farmers Markets

Farmers Market Vegetables

Farmers markets take place on Thursdays in New Westminster and Vancouver at False Creek. At them you can find all kinds of fresh produce and artisan products.

There also used to be a Downtown Vancouver Farmers Market and one on Granville Island on Thursdays too. The downtown one now takes place on Wednesdays, however, and the one on Granville Island hasn’t happened for a number of years.

New West Farmers Market

The New West Farmers Market is a fair-sized market, with up to 50 vendors on a busy day. In the summer it can be found at Tipperary Park at the corner of Royal Avenue and Fourth Street (or 315 Queens Avenue) in New Westminster between 3 and 7 pm.

In 2020 it went from April 2nd until early October. In 2021 it ran a little longer, from April 1st to November 4th. The 2022 market opened on March 31st and ran until November 3rd.

In 2023 the New West Farmers Market runs from March 30th until November 2nd.

In addition to the summer farmers market, there is also a smaller winter market which takes place on the first and third Saturdays during the colder months from 11 am to 3 pm in the 600 block of Belmont Street. The winter version of the market usually runs from the beginning of November until the middle of April.

 

Port Coquitlam Farmers Market

The Port Coquitlam Farmers Market offers lots of fresh produce. There are also artisan goods on sale most of the time. The market is held at Terry Fox Hometown Square, which is just outside the Port Coquitlam Community Centre at 2150 Wilson Avenue in Port Coquitlam.

The market runs from 3 to 7 pm on Thursdays from June until September. Exact dates for the 2023 season are to be confirmed.

False Creek Farmers Market

The False Creek Farmers Market runs in Concord Community Park every Thursday from June until early October.

It’s not one of the largest markets, as there are around a couple dozen vendors. However, the False Creek Market is a great place to get fresh fruits and other produce as well as more pre-prepared meals.

In 2022 the market was open from 3:00 to 7:00 pm every Thursday from July 14th to October 6th.

As of mid-January, 2023 market dates and details are to be confirmed.
