Vancouver Saturday Farmers Markets
Saturday markets within the City of Vancouver include farmers markets at Riley Park, Trout Lake and the West End.
In Vancouver on a Saturday in the summer the Trout Lake Farmers Market is definitely the most impressive, although the others are good too. In colder months, Riley Park is the largest winter market in the entire province!
Riley Park Farmers Market
Operating on Saturdays between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, the Riley Park Farmers Market doesn’t stand out too much in the summer. In winter, though, formerly known as the Nat Bailey Winter Farmers Market, it is one of the region’s oldest and largest.
Riley Park was launched in 2017 as a summer market with just under 36 vendors. Since then, every summer, it continues to operate as a smaller summer market. In 2026 it runs on Saturdays from April 4th until October 31st at the corner of 50 East 30th Avenue and Ontario Street.
Since the fall of 2018, however, and running all winter, Riley Park becomes the renamed Nat Bailey Winter Farmers Market and hosts over 60 vendors each week in the parking lot of Nat Bailey Stadium at 4601 Ontario Street. The winter market typically runs from early November until late March.

Trout Lake Farmers Market
The Trout Lake Farmers Market is a large and vibrant market that takes place between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm from early April to late October at Vancouver’s John Hendry Park near the intersection of 13th Avenue and Lakeview Drive.
The Trout Lake Community Centre is located at 3360 Victoria Drive towards the southwest end of John Hendry Park, to the west of Trout Lake. The summer market happens at the north end of the park, just north of the lake.
The Trout Lake Farmers Market’s season runs from April 4th until October 31st in 2026. It’s an impressive market on a busy day and one of our favourites.
West End Farmers Market
The West End Farmers Market occurs on Saturdays from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm between early May and late October. It’s located on Comox Street by Nelson Park between Bute Street and Thurlow.
In 2026 the West End Farmers Market runs from May 2nd until October 31st. There are typically around 30 or more vendors at the market.
Fraser Valley Saturday Farmers Markets
The Fraser Valley is the Lower Mainland’s premier agricultural region, so you can expect the produce to be exceptionally local and fresh at the markets in Abbotsford and Fort Langley.
Abbotsford Farm and Country Market
The Abbotsford Farm and Country Market usually takes place from mid-spring until the fall in Abbotsford from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm.
2026 dates are from May 2nd until October 31st. There used to be a winter version of the market too but it hasn’t run for a few years. The market recently moved to Jubilee Park at 2552 McCallum Road which is at the edge of downtown Abbotsford.
Fort Langley Village Farmers Market
The Fort Langley Village Farmers Market is a great farmers market that takes place between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm at 9025 Glover Road in Fort Langley from mid-April until early December most years.
In 2026 the market runs on Saturdays between April 18th and December 5th.
Sea to Sky Saturday Farmers Markets
About a 50-minute drive from Vancouver along a scenic highway is the town of Squamish, home to a farmers market in one of the most beautiful parts of the Lower Mainland.
Squamish Farmers Market
The Squamish Farmers Market is a fairly large farmers market in the Sea to Sky region that takes place at the corner of Victoria Street and Cleveland Avenue in Squamish.
Shopping at the market on Saturdays starts at 10:00 am and remains open until 2:00 pm. In 2026, the market runs from March 7th until December 19th.
Weekend Night Markets
In addition to all the above farmers markets, in the summer on weekends, including Saturdays, a number of exceptional night markets take place throughout the region.
Night markets on Saturday include the Richmond Night Market which has a distinctly Asian theme and very little in the way of organic produce and locally grown vegetables. For different reasons, though, it too is well worth visiting on Saturday evenings in Metro Vancouver.
