Food and community that’s focused on food security for the Chilliwack region.
The Downtown Chilliwack Market brings local people together with great local food, music and events. Started through community demand, this outdoor market features farmers, bakers, makers, and foragers, as well as artisans and performers. With capacity for 26 vendors, the market also boasts accessibility, easy parking, food trucks, community booths, artists, food demos, and kids’ activities. The market is located in Downtown Chilliwack, with easy access to local shopping and restaurants to round out your Sunday afternoon experience.
As a food-focused endeavour, the market’s board of directors is prioritizing food security initiatives to ensure locals have affordable access to fresh produce and products grown, baked, made, or gathered close to home. The Market is also a partner with Chilliwack Pride and hosted Chilliwack’s 2022 annual event in Downtown Chilliwack.
We acknowledge that the Downtown Chilliwack Market takes place on S’ólh Téméxw – the traditional and unceded territory of the Stó: lō Peoples. We also acknowledge that many forms of agriculture as we know it are food systems that were not traditionally adopted by the First Peoples here. It’s important that while we support local farming and farmers, we also promote the protection of these traditional food systems.
This market participates in the BC Farmers' Market Nutrition Coupon Program.
