Whistler Farmer's Market

Located in Whistler, BC, the Whistler Farmers’ Market welcomes residents and resort guests alike as they interact in the festive atmosphere accented by assorted entertainers.

The Whistler Farmers’ Market is a registered non profit society dedicated to the promotion of regionally produced foods, crafts and services. From humble beginnings of one farm and a couple of crafters in the summer of 1994, the market now hosts an average of 90 vendors showcasing fresh fruit, produce, artisan crafts and food products.

Take a pleasant stroll through the Upper Village, listen to live music from local musicians, line up to get your children’s faces painted, and soak in the wonderful smells, sights, tastes and sounds of the Whistler Farmer’s Market.
