Calgary Farmers' Market West operates with extended hours—Wednesday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.—making it convenient for different schedules. This location features over 60 local vendors spread across a 54,000-square-foot space, offering fresh produce, specialty food items, and locally-made products.
The extended evening hours during the week provide flexibility for those who prefer to shop after traditional business hours, while the spacious layout allows for comfortable browsing through the diverse vendor offerings.
As Calgary's longest running year-round farmers' market, the Hillhurst Sunnyside market has deep roots in the community. The market transitions with the seasons—running outdoors on Wednesdays 3-7 p.m. from May 28 to October 8, 2025, then moving indoors for the winter months.
Located at the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Centre (1320 5 Ave. N.W.), this Alberta-approved market connects shoppers directly with local vendors selling produce, preserves, baked goods, and handcrafted items. The seasonal transition from outdoor to indoor operations means you can enjoy the fresh air and community atmosphere during warmer months, then continue supporting the same vendors in a cozy indoor setting through winter.
Seasonal outdoor markets
Operating Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. from June 3 to October 7, 2025, at the Sunalta Community Association, this weekend market offers the same vendor variety as its weekday counterpart with convenient Saturday timing. The morning hours make it an ideal way to start your weekend while supporting local producers and artisans.
Running Saturdays from May 24 to October 4, 2025, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Art Park at cSPACE Marda Loop (1721-29th Ave. SW), this market benefits from its location within Calgary's arts district.

Running Thursdays from June 19 to October 2, 2025, 3:30–7:30 p.m. at the Bridgeland Riverside Community Hall (917 Centre Ave. NE), this market offers an excellent weekday evening option. Located outside the community hall in the Bridgeland neighbourhood just north of downtown Calgary, it provides convenient after-work shopping hours. The extended evening hours make it particularly appealing for those who work traditional daytime schedules and want to visit a farmers market during the week.
Planning your market visits
Timing and availability: Market schedules and vendor lineups may vary throughout the season, so checking ahead ensures you don't miss your favourite vendors or special events. Most markets feature core vendors who appear regularly, with additional vendors joining for specific dates or seasons.
Payment and preparation: Most markets now accommodate both cash and card payments, though individual vendors may have preferences. Bringing reusable bags helps you carry your purchases while supporting environmental sustainability—a value many market vendors share.
Seasonal considerations: Calgary's markets reflect Alberta's growing seasons, with different products available as the year progresses. Spring markets might feature early greens and preserves from the previous season, while late summer and fall markets showcase the peak harvest period.
Calgary's farmers markets provide year-round opportunities to discover local products, support Alberta producers, and connect with the community. Whether you prefer the convenience of indoor shopping or the seasonal charm of outdoor markets, you'll find options that fit your schedule and interests throughout 2025.
