Downtown Farmers’ Market runs Wednesday afternoons at the Art Gallery North plaza in šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square (a place for gatherings and ceremony). It sits in the middle of the urban core but somehow feels like an alcove. The crowd is mixed: suits next to strollers, office workers next to tourists wandering off the seawall, and someone here on a quick lunch break. This farmers’ market is where new vendors often launch, and where the Indigenous Tourism BC partnership brings new Indigenous vendors throughout the season. 

Know before you go: 

• This is a great spot for lunch. 

• Takes place in šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square, a place for gatherings and ceremony. 

• Secret parking under the Art Gallery, with access a couple of blocks away. 

• Granville’s chaos is one block east, but it feels like it’s on another planet. 

We respectfully acknowledge that the land we gather on is the Unceded Traditional Territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
