Winter Markets open this weekend


Vancouver Farmers Markets kicks off its 14th winter season with the opening of Riley Park and Hastings Park Winter Markets this weekend!

The winter markets will be operating as essential services during the ongoing pandemic. We ask that everyone in the market community – shoppers, vendors, staff, and volunteers – help us keep the markets safe and open by following our COVID-19 shopping practices.

In order for VFM staff to maintain safe capacity inside the market, Riley Park Winter Market will be operating as four separate mini markets divided into zones – click here for more info and to view the zone map.

Hastings Park Winter Market will look much the same as last year, with the addition of a single, controlled entrance and exit. More details can be found on this page.

We are grateful for the ongoing support from our community for our farms and producers, and hope to see you this season at the winter markets!
