Lettuce romaine calm, Downtown Farmers' Market will be back soon! To make way for Easter long weekend and our Earth Day CleanUp event, catch us at Cityplace Winnipeg on Thursday, April 13 and 27 with our exciting lineup of vendors from across the city.

With our spring indoor market season ending in May, we'll start accepting applications for our summer market on May 31! As a Downtown BIZ member, you're eligible to set up a FREE BOOTH, subject to space availability.

Why should you join the Farmers' Market? It can help you reach new customers - those who regularly attend the Farmers' Market may not be familiar with your business or your products. Our last two indoor markets had over 1,700 people in attendance!
