Okanagan Markets

Okanagan

Kelowna

Being in the central Okanagan region, Kelowna doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to Farmer's Markets. The main outdoor farmers and crafters market is located on the corner of Dilworth and Springfield, starting at the beginning of April and finishing at the end of October. Every Wednesday and Saturday from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm, you can enjoy a long list of farmers, food vendors and crafters. The winter market location is hosted at the Parkinson Recreation Centre from January through March.

Kelowna also showcases a downtown farmers market during the summer months, known as the Satellite Market, which usually occurs on Sundays. This market is paired with the famous Meet Me on Bernard, which closes down the city’s main boulevard, Bernard Street, and showcases local businesses and vendors all summer long.
