Vancouver Island Markets and Fairs

Discover Vancouver Island Markets and Fairs

Vancouver Island supports a variety of farmers markets and local fairs, a few of which run all year round, but most are only open from late Spring until early Fall.

If you get a chance to visit any of these island markets and fairs you will find local produce and crafts, home made preserves and baked goods, sometimes animals and live music, and of course, a good time for the whole family.

Vancouver Island has always been well known for its hospitality, so where better to meet the locals and share some of the island delicacies?

Make sure to include some of these island markets and fairs on your next trip.
