Vendor Location Maps
Want to know where your favourite vendor is located? Check out our location maps below. You can click on the vendor location dot and find out more information about that specific vendor. Note that these maps are linked to another program that is used to create the vendor location information and is automatically updated to the website at various times though the process and as a result you may not be viewing the map the represents the vendors that will actually be at the market.

April 22, 2024
The Downtown Courtenay Summer Street Market, a partnership between Comox Valley Farmers’ Market, Comox Valley Arts, and the Comox Valley Home Bases Business Association, has cancelled the 2024 market season. This difficult decision comes following news that the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market Association is scaling back due to financial considerations.
Various events and activities will be held throughout the year by each of the partners. The public is encouraged to check out the websites for each partner (comoxvalleyarts.com , cvfm.ca and cvhbba.ca) to find out more information.
The organizers look forward to collaborating again in the future to bring local food and artisans together in beautiful downtown Courtney.
