Public Markets Week 2026

Public Markets Week returns June 6-13th! Plan ahead to participate in your local market(s) and tap into all the local offerings. We're putting together a list of all the amazing activities you can enjoy across the city.

Public Markets Week is happening June 6-13th! And yes, we intentionally are making it an eight-day week by including two Saturdays since there are just SO MANY weekend markets to see and experience.

Be sure to familiarize yourself in advance by visiting the City of Toronto's Public Markets webpage, which serves as a central hub for discovering local markets, programming details, and tools for market organizers. This portal is part of the City's response to the public's expressed desire for a more centralised and accessible source of information about public markets in Toronto.

Make sure you also check the 2026 outdoor season map to find new markets in different neighbourhoods across Toronto. The map is organized by the various types of markets in our city, and includes key information so you can visit them all!

And lastly, do check back here to llook at the list of amazing activities you can enjoy – or even better, plan to check them all out.

Here’s how you can participate in this year’s Public Markets Week celebrations:

Neighbourhood Markets and Food Tours

Join an immersive and tasty opportunity to explore the connection between public markets, local businesses and the neighbourhoods they serve. All tours are anchored in either a neighbourhood market or a market district, and literally walk residents and visitors through a curated experience that highlights food and cultural assets in the community.

Space is limited to 25 people for each tour. A small $5 registration is required to secure your spot. These tours are valued at $68-100 per person but made accessible thanks to the support of the City of Toronto’s Economic Development and Culture Division.
