Farmers’ Market
Squamish Farmers’ Market
37996 Cleveland Ave, Squamish, BC

This large market opened up in Downtown Squamish nearly 20 years ago. It started as a way for local businesses to band together outside of the brick-and-mortar storefronts, and it’s been happening every Saturday ever since!

Known for its lively atmosphere and stunning mountain backdrop, the market features a diverse selection of local vendors offering fresh produce, artisanal foods, handmade crafts, and more. There are even Chef’s demonstrations, weekly crafting activities for kids, and live music from local talent! Check it out on Saturdays year-round.
