The Best Food Flea Markets In Vancouver

The best way to experience the food and culture of a new city is to visit the markets. Try the local produce, fresh baked goods and smell the flowers that can only be found in the area. Here is a list of markets in Vancouver that you absolutely must visit.

Granville Island

The colorful stalls of the Granville Island Market are full of a large variety of homemade products and local food. All of the ingredients are sourced fresh from either the ocean and the field, and the baked goods leave their delightful aromas wafting along the breeze to entice curious visitors to have a taste. Open daily 9am-7pm, 7 days a week.

Vancouver Flea Market

Affectionately called the “Big Red Barn” by locals, the Vancouver Flea Market is a large barn that holds an assortment of collectibles, household items, and even things that you never knew existed or that you needed. The building is over 40,000 square feet and can hold up to 4,000 people at one time, making it an ideal location for weekend thrift shopping or the regular antique shows. Open Saturday and Sunday from 9am-5pm.
