Now in its 11th season, the Kimberley Farmers’ Market is in full swing and brimming with energy.
Located in the heart of downtown Kimberley BC, this vibrant market draws locals and visitors alike with its unique blend of fresh food, live entertainment, and community spirit. With an average of 30 vendors each week, up from 24 at the same time last year, the Market is growing stronger with each Thursday evening.
Recognized as a must-visit stop on the BC Farmers’ Market Trail, the Kimberley Farmers’ Market offers something for everyone.
Marketgoers can browse seasonal produce, baked goods, handmade crafts, and specialty items, while enjoying free bike valet, and a lively roster of musicians. Returning favourites and new performers like PDK Trio, Kimberley Lately, Ivan Palomares, Mongrel Moon, the Spruce Tops, and Rogue Tassel are bringing fresh sounds and big energy each week.
This year’s new flexible social space in the Platzl invites the community to gather, connect, and share skills. Recent and upcoming Market Socials include a native wildflower seed bomb workshop with the East Kootenay Invasive Species Council, a bike maintenance session with Coffee Outside, and a ski waxing chat and demo of their new ECO Aims camera based rifles with the Kimberley Nordic Club Biathlon team.
It’s been amazing to see the public turnout and the incredible community spirit each week.Sparta Humphreys, Market Coordinator
“Watching patrons and vendors share a laugh as a toddler runs through the market clutching a baguette half his size, or seeing a young girl sit captivated by a fiddler for half the market… these are the moments that show how special this space is.”
The Kimberley Farmers’ Market runs every Thursday from 5:00 to 7:30 PM (7pm in September) on Howard Street through mid-September. Whether you are here for the food, the music, or the mountain town charm, it is an unforgettable stop in the heart of the Kootenays.
