Burnaby Farmers Market

The Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market takes place in its new location on the Promenade Patio at the City of Lougheed Shopping Centre on Saturdays.

The market runs from early June until the last Saturday in August. It used to happen at Burnaby City Hall, but is in its new Lougheed location since 2026.

Burnaby Farmers Market

The Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market is one of three markets operated by the Artisan Farmers Market Society. Another one was the Ambleside Artisan Farmers Market which took place in West Vancouver on Sundays, usually running from around mid-May until mid-September. Sadly, this market had its final run in 2026. Organizers have cited lack of support for its closure. We hope to see it return in future year. There is also the Brentwood Artisan Farmers Market. It takes place at The Amazing Brentwood Mall and usually runs from around early June to the end August.

In 2025 the Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market was at 4949 Canada Way. The market set up in the north parking lot outside Burnaby City Hall. The venue was accessed off Deer Lake Parkway just before it connects with Canada Way. This was not the case for 2026, though.

New as of 2026, you can find the market in the Grand Promenade at the City of Lougheed Shopping Centre, at 3778 Grande Promenade. Regular hours of operation are between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm on Saturdays.

About the Burnaby Farmers Market

The Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market is typically a medium to large-sized market. It has up to around 40 to 50 vendors each week in the summer. It’s not as busy as some of the Lower Mainland’s other main markets, though. Consequently, there aren’t normally big crowds. It’s a really nice market. We are excited to see the size of the market now that is has moved to its new location.

Vendors at the Burnaby market include the usual selection of local farmers with their fruits and vegetables. There are also small craft-brewed distillers, artisans, artists, bakers, and makers of homemade goods and preserves. There is also usually a musician providing live entertainment.

What to Expect

The Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market is an exceptional market. There is a good variety of vendors and the quality of the products is high. It’s an “artisan farmers” market, so there are both artisan vendors and farmers. The artisan vendors, though, are mostly food-related, not arts and crafts.

At the market there are a few artisan stalls with things like soaps and handmade art. Most of the artisans, however, sell things like jams, sauces, baked goods and ethnic foods. This makes the market a perfect place to pick up picnic ingredients to enjoy outdoors, maybe at nearby Cameron Park. It’s also where you’ll find treats for yourself and unique gifts for friends.

A nice thing about the Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market is its size. The market is large enough that you can find a great selection of quality goods to choose from. It’s not too big, though, that you have to fight through the crowds and live in fear of getting separated from your children.

Being at the mall, there is good parking available at its new location too. Plus, if you’re hungry either before or after shopping, the Lougheed Village Bar & Grill is nearby.

Burnaby Holiday Market at Christmas

In addition to its regular summer market, the Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market also usually hosts a Christmas-themed market each year. In the past, the special event took place at the same venue as the farmers market. However, this was not the case two years ago.

New for 2025, the Holiday Hive Market was a collaborative event hosted by the Artisan Farmers Market Society and Metropolis at Metrotown. The Holiday Hive Market ran on the weekend of December 6th and 7th outside the shopping mall. Hours on both days were from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Details about the market’s Christmas event in 2026 are to be confirmed. It likely won’t happen at the mall in Burnaby again, but may somewhere else.
