Main Street Farmers Market

If you need fresh produce on a Wednesday afternoon, or if you want to support local farmers, then check out the following Vancouver farmers markets.

Lower Mainland Farmers Markets on Wednesdays

The main farmers market that takes place on Wednesdays is Vancouver’s Downtown Farmers Market. It offers fun and entertaining ways to shop for local produce, handmade products, homemade treats and organic fruits and vegetables.

The Whistler Farmers Market used to be on Wednesdays but now it only takes place on Sundays and select Saturdays. There also used to be the Main Street Station Farmers Market, but it hasn’t happened for a few years because of construction. It may or may not happen again in the future.

Note: Market details are subject to change. Check each market’s website for exact times, dates, and locations.

Downtown Farmers Market

Vancouver’s Downtown Farmers Market takes place on Wednesdays in the plaza outside the Vancouver Art Gallery. Check it out at the corner of Georgia and Hornby.

The market typically operates from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm. In 2024 it ran on Wednesdays from June 5th until December 18th. 2025 dates and details are to be confirmed.

Whistler Farmers Market

The Whistler Farmers Market used to take place in the Upper Village at Whistler on Wednesdays from 2:00 to 7:00 pm in July and August, as well as on Sundays between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm from early June until early October.

Sadly, there is no Wednesday market in Whistler anymore. It only runs on Sundays now (along with a few Saturdays).

Main Street Station Farmers Market

The Main Street Station Farmers Market also used to take place between 2:00 and 6:00 pm from the beginning of June until the first week of October. It happened at 1150 Station Street in front of Vancouver’s Central Pacific Station bus and train depot and just a short walk from Science World and the easternmost tip of the False Creek Seawall.

In 2020 the Main Street Station Market’s season was from June 3rd to October 7th. Unfortunately it was cancelled in 2021 due to construction and it hasn’t returned yet.
