Saturday Market Moves Location
It is that time of year again! We are heading to the CV Exhibition Grounds (4839 Headquarters Rd) this weekend (Saturday April 8, 2023) for our Summer market season. We will still have the same hours (9 AM-1 PM) and the same great products you know and love, just in our summer location. For the first few weeks we will be beside the curling rink instead of our usual field, which is getting some repair work completed.
This move marks the start of live music at the market as well as more fun events. Stay tuned to our website and social media channels for more infomation.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Our Markets
We have a variety of markets throughout the year in different locations in Courtenay and Cumberland including a year-round Saturday market and seasonal summer markets. Each of these markets offers customers an unique experience.

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. The final map will be active by 5 pm the night before the market so you will have time to plan out your market day. Happy Shopping!
