Keep it Local
Eat local! Support local! Fredericton sits in the middle of an agriculture-based region, and the local movement is strong in the city. Boasting produce, meats and hand-made products produced within 100km, the direct-to-consumer market includes Farmers’ Markets, u-pick farms and on site farm stands; we even have our own “local” grocer. While you are in our area, stop by one of these places and enjoy some of our homegrown goodies!
Markets
Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market
665 George Street | Saturdays 7 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Probably the most recommended stopping spot for anyone visiting Fredericton is the Boyce Farmers Market. It is THE place to be on Saturday morning, no matter the time of year. The aromas wafting from food trucks immediately draws you in, and it doesn’t take long before you are swept up in the heart of the community – talking to locals, grabbing a coffee, stocking up on breads, veggies and meat for the week. Need a gift or souvenir? This is the place to pick up locally handcrafted items.
170 Main Street | Saturday 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. & Sunday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Carleton Street | June 9 to September 8 | Thursdays 4:30 - 9 p.m.
Located in the old British military garrison, on the newly renovated portion of Carleton Street, the Garrison Night Market will feature local and imported handmade products, art, craft & design, clothing, locally-grown farm products, local microbrews, ciders & spirits, youth entrepreneurs, buskers, and, of course, food. A stage set up near the 104th Regiment of Foot pedway will host local musical entertainment adding to the festive atmosphere. The street will come alive with street vendors, busker entertainment, theatre and musical performances! This outdoor market will take place rain or shine.
Food Market at the Ex is Fredericton’s newest “grab and go” market offering a variety of international flavours: Greek, Syrian, Jamaican, Korean and Mexican. The market runs 11am-7pm on Friday, 9-4 on Saturday and 10 to 4 on Sunday. This market is environmentally friendly; everything is recyclable!
