Whistler Farmers’ Market this Fall
For those wanting to experience Whistler like a local, why not visit Whistler’s open-air Farmers’ Market to snag some fresh produce and artisan goods. But you will have to be quick! The Farmer’s Market will be finished for the season on October 11th.
Every Sunday the Market runs from 11am-4pm, a short walk from the Upper Village along the Valley Trail. The Market is located in Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre, meaning those looking for a family day out can stroll around the market and finish with an exploration of the cultural exhibits on the Squamish & Lil’wat Nation.
The Market currently has reduced vendors running on a rotating schedule. To find out who will be operating when you’re visiting, check the Farmer’s Market homepage for the latest schedule: https://www.whistlerfarmersmarket.org/ or view our favorite vendors below!
