Summer pop up markets
Alleyways Market (opens in new window) | July 17 and August 21, 2026
Tucked into a back lane in the East Exchange, Alleyways Market feels like discovering something you’re not supposed to miss. This summer pop-up transforms an ordinary alley off Elgin Avenue into a laid-back outdoor gathering with a little bit of everything. Shop farm-fresh produce, ready-to-eat snacks, vintage clothing, handmade jewelry and local art, all in one compact space. Live music, performances and creative installation spill into nearby lanes, giving the area an energetic, playful feel.
MB Night Market and Festival (opens in new window) | July 19 and August 23, 2026
On select summer Sundays, Assiniboia Downs transforms into Manitoba’s biggest night market — and it’s a full evening affair. More than 100 local vendors fill the grounds with handmade goods, artisan finds and plenty of reasons to stop and browse. Over 20 food trucks serve everything from smoky, juicy ribs to sweet late-night treats, making it easy to eat your way through the event. Live music carries across the space, while kid-friendly entertainment keeps little ones happy — and adults too. Settle in for an easygoing evening that showcasesManitoba’s local food, makers and creative spirit.
Year-round markets
Downtown Farmer’s Market (opens in new window) | Thursdays | 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Set right in the heart of the city, the Downtown Farmers’ Market changes with the seasons but always delivers a welcoming, local atmosphere. In cooler months, you’ll find it indoors at Cityplace for a comfortable experience; when summer arrives, it moves outdoors along Graham Avenue beside Manitoba Hydro Place. Expect tables piled with leafy greens, fresh baking, golden Manitoba honey, grass-fed bison and thoughtfully-made home goods. Music and conversation fill the space as downtown workers, residents and visitors linger. Whether you’re grabbing lunch, filling your tote or just soaking it all in, this market is a downtown favourite.
Le Marche St. Norbert Farmers’ Market (opens in new window) | Saturdays | 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
For more than 35 years, Le Marché St. Norbert Farmers’ Market has been a weekend ritual for locals who love good food and friendly faces. Every vendor is Manitoba-made, whether it’s just-picked produce, crusty bread still warm from the oven or jars of preserves you’ll want to take home. Longtime shoppers swear by the vinarterta, a layered Icelandic cake that’s worth the trip on its own. Open year-round and spilling outdoors in warmer months, the market feels relaxed and familiar. It’s easy to stock up, catch up and enjoy something truly local here.
