Riley Park Farmers Market – Summer

The Riley Park Summer Farmers Market is a vibrant, community-driven market located at 50 E 30th Ave & Ontario St in Vancouver, operating from April 1 to October 28, 2023, every Saturday from 10am to 2pm. It is a seasonal marketplace where local residents and visitors can support over 35 local farms and producers each week. Customers can indulge in a wide variety of fresh food, with the convenience of food and coffee trucks on-site.

The market fosters a sense of community by introducing shoppers to the farmers and artisans behind their food. It offers amenities like bike racks and is accessible via public transit, including the #3 Main Street Bus, the #33 29th Ave Station Bus, and Canada Line Skytrain at King Edward Station. Patrons are encouraged to utilize alternative transportation methods to reach the market due to parking restrictions during specific dates coinciding with the Nat Bailey event.

By following the market on Instagram or subscribing to their weekly newsletter, patrons can stay informed about updates, product offerings, and receive recipes that highlight seasonal ingredients.

The Riley Park Summer Farmers Market emphasizes sustainability and community engagement. It encourages embracing a lifestyle that supports local economies and contributes to environmentally-conscious living. Their activities extend into the winter, serving the community with winter markets at PNE Fairgrounds and Riley Park as the summer season concludes.

The market is a project of the Vancouver Farmers Markets, an organization committed to bringing local food and people together since 1995, operating on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
