The Whistler Farmers Market features dozens of vendors selling fresh produce and artisan products in the Upper Village between early summer and mid-October.

 

Whistler’s Artisan and Fresh Produce Market

Whistler’s outdoor farmers market is a really good one. It includes a great collection of vendors who sell locally-grown fruits, vegetables, handmade products and baked goods. It takes place on Sundays.

The market is a non-profit society that prides itself in aiming to be zero waste and having all locally-grown produce and locally-made items for sale. On busy days there are up to about 90 different vendors who attend the market and sell their goods.

 

 

Where and When is the Market?

The Whistler Farmers Market takes place in the upper part of Whistler Village near the Blackcomb gondola. It’s open for business on Sundays from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm from May 17th to October 11th in 2026.

 

 

Vendors

There are many different kinds of vendors at the market which means there are a variety of goods and services available for purchase. You’ll find vendors selling everything from coffee to fresh produce, meat, art, ceramics, clothing, baked goods and chocolate.  There are also usually stalls where you can buy jewelry, products for your pet, wine and other alcoholic spirits

 

Things to Think About

Below are some tips and suggestions to help you make the most out of your farmers market shopping experience.

1. If you are in Whistler on a market day, go and check it out. It’s one of the best farmers markets within 200 km of Vancouver.
2. When you buy from a vendor at the market you’re supporting a local farmer and small business, both of which are great things to do.
3. The fruits and vegetables at the market are likely fresher than what you’ll get at the supermarket, and the artisan products are likely made locally and by hand (and not simply imported from overseas factories). If you want to try tasty local food and buy unique and genuinely Canadian souvenirs, this is a great place to do that.
4. Browsing all the vendor stalls and chatting with the vendors can also be lots of fun.
5. The largest and busiest markets are the Sunday markets, especially from June until early September.
6. If you are ever in Squamish on a Saturday between April and October, another market to check out is the Squamish Farmers Market. It’s usually smaller than the one in Whistler, but it’s also a good market. You also drive pretty close it when travelling between Whistler and Vancouver.
