This year, our market is in its 18th season and is located right on the waterfront in the heart of downtown Nanaimo with spectacular views on the Strait of Georgia, Gulf Islands and the mainland . Every Friday between 2 pm and 6 pm, Pioneer Plaza is full of life and buzz over local products and live music as well as several special events and themed markets such as Canada Day, Dog Days and Children’s Day. Our vendors range from farmers and bakers, to crafters and anything locally-grown, made or baked in between. Every week we have fantastic local music talent on stage to entertain all ages. You can experience all this while watching soaring eagles, trickling boats in the harbour and incoming seaplanes. Enjoy a fabulous Friday at the Farmers Market in Nanaimo.

Market runs May 15 to October 9, 2015.
