Explore Local Flavour on the Delta Passport Tour

After a long hiatus, this market has returned, offering a lively and welcoming atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. Held every other Saturday from late May to early October, the market features around 40 vendors selling everything from fresh BC-grown produce and baked goods to handmade crafts and beverages. With live music, seasonal activities like seed swaps, and family-friendly programming including scavenger hunts and seed-planting stations, this farmers’ market is a fun and inclusive space for all ages. Thanks to its accessible location, ample parking, indoor washrooms, and EV charging, it’s an easy way to start your day of exploring.

Next, head south to the Southlands Tsawwassen Farmers Market. This market is also bi-weekly, and operates every other Saturday from June to November at Market Square.

This neighbourhood gem is bursting with local flavour, offering fresh fruits and vegetables, vibrant flowers, and a delicious array of artisanal foods. You’ll also find fresh-baked treats, handcrafted artwork, unique jewelry, and gifts, all alongside hot and cold drinks, food trucks, and live music that bring the market to life.

For your final farmers’ market on the Delta Passport Tour, make your way to the Ladner Village Market, one of Western Canada’s largest open-air farmers’ markets. A beloved community tradition for nearly 30 years, the market continues to grow and thrive in the heart of downtown Ladner. It spans three tree-lined, pedestrian-only blocks that have recently been revitalized as part of a community-focused transformation, creating a vibrant, walkable space filled with dozens of vendors, local artists, and talented buskers.

Here, you’ll find everything from farm-fresh produce and locally sourced meat and seafood to handmade crafts, artisanal goods, and live music that brings the streets to life. This market also runs on a bi-weekly schedule, so be sure to plan ahead. This lively, open-air celebration of local talent and taste is not to be missed.
