Join Us in Supporting Local – Become a VFM Sponsor!
Vancouver Farmers Markets is celebrating a vibrant 2025 summer season with the incredible support of our sponsors and community – thank you! As we look ahead, we’re excited to announce that sponsorship opportunities are now open for the 2025-26 Winter Market season, as well as a special initiative to fund a much-needed Bike Rack Program.
2025–26 Winter Market Sponsorships
This winter, we’re offering brand partnerships at two dynamic markets:
- Riley Park Winter Market – Our longest-running and largest winter market, a true staple of the BC local food scene.
- Kitsilano Winter Market – Back for its second year after a smashing debut, this market has quickly become a Sunday favourite among the Kits community.
Sponsorship Opportunities Include:
- Winter Season Sponsor
- Riley Park Winter – Market Sponsor
- Kitsilano Winter – Market Sponsor
- Market Activation Days
- Custom sponsorship packages available – Let’s build something together that suits your goals and brand!
Our markets offer some of the highest shopper engagement in the city, with a diverse and loyal audience that values local, sustainable, and community-driven brands. If your company is looking to connect with one of the most trusted local food communities in Vancouver, this is your moment.
Help Us Bring Better Bike Parking to Market
Bike racks are in high demand, and event organizers like us are trying to cope up with limited supply against high rental demands. With increasing numbers of cyclists at our markets – especially those with e-bikes, cargo bikes, and baskets full of fresh produce – our current temporary setup (thanks to our friends at Gran Fondo) isn’t quite cutting it. And therefore, we are now actively seeking sponsors to help us launch a comprehensive bike rack program for our busiest market locations at:
- Riley Park;
- Trout Lake; and
- Kitsilano
Your support could mean safer, more accessible bike parking for thousands of market-goers each season. It’s a high-impact, visible way to support sustainable transportation, local food access, and climate-friendly urban life.
