The original farmers’ market in the heart Downtown Nanaimo.

Located along the picturesque Nanaimo waterfront right in the heart of the city, a visit to the Nanaimo Downtown Farmers’ Market provides breathtaking views of the Strait of Georgia, Gabriola Island, and mainland BC.

Under the watchful eye of soaring bald eagles and incoming seaplanes, this community event takes over Pioneer Plaza with live music, farm, food, and craft vendors every Saturday morning from Mother’s Day through Labour Day.
