The East Van Farmers Market at Trout Lake is open again! As the season progresses there will be more and more fabulous local produce to be purchased but in the meantime, check out the artisans, prepared food vendors and plants for your own garden.


Trout Lake market hours are Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The markets at Riley Park (Wednesday afternoons) and Nelson Park (Saturdays) open in June.

The YLFMS Winter Market is this weekend, December 10 and 11 at the Heritage Hall on Main at 15th Avenue. The market will feature a bevy of local artisans as well as some of the food related vendors that are at the outdoor market. The vendors will be different on each of the days, so it'll be fun to check the market out on both days.
