The Qualicum Beach Farmers’ Market plays host to the community year-round as they introduce locals and visitors to the region’s most talented makers, bakers, and growers every Saturday morning.

Since the market’s inception in 1997, a genuine “Meet me at the Market” feeling has permeated this community who proudly supports their local food producers. This early morning market starts promptly with the ring of the market bell, as friends and neighbours catch up over hot coffee and fresh snacks, and vendors display their fresh farm produce alongside up-and-coming independent food producers.

Open Saturdays 8:30am-12:00pm

For more than 40 years, it’s been a tradition for Errington’s local artisans and food producers to gather on Saturday mornings in the wooded area behind Errington Park. Over the years, purpose-built wooden farm stalls have been constructed alongside a permanent bandstand and cafe serving hot food and drinks, turning this quaint gathering in the woods into a significant local destination for fresh food, family fun, and community spirit.

Open Saturdays 10:00am-1:00pm
