Vancouver is famous for its farmers markets where people can buy local and organic fruits and vegetables, handcrafted art and homemade goods.

Numerous farmers markets are located throughout the region and take place on various days, although mostly on weekends in the warmer months. In addition to daytime markets, there are significant events like the Shipyards Night Market.

There are artisan farmers’ markets at City Hall in Burnaby, Brentwood Mall in Burnaby, and at Ambleside Park in West Vancouver. There are also farmers’ markets in New Westminster, Vancouver, Surrey, and all over the place!

See below for details on where to find fresh produce and support local farmers and artisans.

Ambleside Artisan Farmers Market

This is a popular, medium-sized farmers market that pairs perfectly with a visit to Ambleside Park and a stroll along the West Vancouver seawall. The market is set just inside Ambleside Park at the foot of 13th Street, steps from the waterfront and the village shopping area.

The Ambleside Farmers Market runs on Sundays from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm throughout the main season, from early May to late October. With ocean views, green space, and easy beach access, the waterfront setting is a major draw, making the market a great spot to pick up picnic supplies or enjoy a relaxed morning by the sea.

The 2026 season is scheduled to run from May 3rd to October 25th.

TIP: Saturdays are great days to visit the Historic HBC Fort, so combine your trip there with a visit to the market. Go for a stroll or bike ride along the river while you’re in the neighbourhood.

 

 

Haney (Maple Ridge) Market

The Haney Farmers’ Market takes place at Memorial Peace Park at 11900 224th Street in the heart of Maple Ridge from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturdays from early May until the end of October. In the summer months the market has live music, crafts for children and sometimes even a story time. The 2025 market ran from April 26th to October 25th.

TIP: Golden Ears Provincial Park and Alouette Lake are close to Maple Ridge. The lake and its beaches are beautiful. There are lots of hiking trails in the park and overnight camping in the area is excellent. If it’s a hot day in July or August, even the massive parking lot there can fill up, given the place’s popularity. So, unless you’re camping, get to the park earlier rather than later.

 

Junction Public Market (Vancouver)

The Junction Public Market debuted in 2024. It’s an artisan market, not a farmers market. The event is held at Granville Square at 200 Granville Street. It’s open from Tuesdays to Sundays each week in the summer. Around a dozen vendors set up inside shipping containers. There’s also live music and food trucks on site, plus a bar serving alcoholic beverages.

This is a larger market, with up to around 48 vendors each week. The market is located about 20 blocks from Kitsilano Beach (just in case you decide to combine it with a drive there for a swim). The 2026 market returns in May. 

 

 

Ladner Village Farmers Market

The Ladner Village Market takes place from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on 48th Avenue between Elliott Street and Delta Street on select Sundays from mid-June to mid-September.

The place is about eight blocks up the hill from New Westminster’s main streets, close to the waterfront. The last time we went, there were 50 vendors, a couple of musicians on guitar, and someone making animal balloons for children.

In addition to the summer farmers market, there is also a smaller winter market most years, which takes place on the first and third Saturdays during the colder months from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm in the 600 block of Belmont Street.

Shipyards Night Market

The Shipyards Night Market is located at Shipbuilders’ Square near Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver on Fridays from 3:00 to 10:00 pm. It’s not technically a farmers market – it’s a night market, complete with beer garden, food trucks and live music.

We include the Shipyards Night Market under the farmers market category, though, as it also has lots of vendors. You’re likely to find everything from local farm produce to handcrafted jewellery, boutique clothing, and homemade jams and preserves.

In fact, the Shipyards Night Market has more “farmers market-style” vendors than many of the Lower Mainland’s other farmers markets, plus all its other added benefits. Truly, this is an impressive market and highly recommended.

The Shipyards Night Market returns in 2026, running from May 15th to September 11th.

Squamish Farmers Market

Located up the beautiful Sea to Sky Highway about 50 minutes from Vancouver, the Squamish Farmers Market takes place at the corner of Cleveland Avenue and Victoria in Squamish. The market runs on Saturdays from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm. 

For a small community, it’s a surprisingly large market and well worth visiting while exploring the area. The market returns in 2026 from March 7th to April 26th, and then again in the winter in November and December.

 

 

Steveston Village Farmers Market

The Steveston Village Farmers Market usually takes place two Sundays a month from May until October in Richmond’s Steveston Village. The market used to take place outside the Steveston Community Centre. However, as of 2025, it takes place at Garry Point Park.

Steveston Village is a highly recommended place for strolls, bike rides, and visits to historic sites. It’s well worth the trek out to the farmers market when combined with a visit to the region.

 

 

Surrey Urban Farmers Market

The Surrey Urban Farmers Market takes place on Saturdays from early June to early October, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm, at Royal Kwantlen Park along 104th Avenue.

Trout Lake Farmers Market

The Trout Lake Farmers Market is one of the largest farmers markets in Metro Vancouver and one of our favourites for its size and location.  It takes place on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, from April to October, at John Hendry Park in Vancouver, near the intersection of Lakeview Drive and 13th Avenue. In 2026 it reopens in April.
