The Kitsilano Farmers Market takes place on Sundays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm outdoors at the Kitsilano Community Centre at 2690 Larch Street in Vancouver.

It is one of the Lower Mainland’s largest and most impressive farmers markets and well worth checking out.

Sunday Market in Kitsilano

The Kitsilano Farmers Market runs each year from early May until around the third week of October. It starts at 10:00 am and continues for four hours. During that time hundreds of people turn out to shop, and on sunny summer days the turnout can be in the thousands.

The 2022 Kitsilano market was open from May 1st to October 30th. Hours of operation were from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. 2023 dates and times will likely be similar. Exact details, however, are to be confirmed.

At the market there is everything from local fruits and vegetables to fresh-baked goods to meats and cheeses. There is also always lots of organic produce and handmade artisan products, as well as someone on a guitar or other instrument entertaining.

Of all of the Lower Mainland’s numerous farmers markets, the one in Kitsilano is definitely among the largest and most dynamic. On a typical week there are at least 50 vendors.

What’s in the Area?

Nearby, there is a bike route that provides easy access to the market.  Consider riding your bike or using some other form of wheeled transportation besides your car.  This makes sense here because just a couple of blocks from the Kitsilano Farmers Market location is West Broadway with all its restaurants and additional shopping opportunities.

While in the neighbourhood, cycle over to other interesting places like the park and beach at Kitsilano, as well as other beaches like Jericho, Locarno and Spanish Banks.

Also just a short jaunt away is Vanier Park which is home to the Maritime Museum, H.R. MacMillan Space Centre and Museum of Vancouver.

Buy your picnic fixings at the market and then head out and explore!
