2024 Public Markets Week

Neighbourhood Markets Tours

We cannot wait to engage market-goers, managers, vendors, and all Torontonians to share their love for markets! Enjoy 2024 Public Markets Week, and tag us in your adventures!

Activities include:

Launch the Toronto Public Markets Interactive Map

An interactive map that brings together, for the first time, all public markets in our city. The map is organized by the various forms of markets in our city and includes key information so residents and tourists can visit them all!

I Love Toronto Markets Campaign & Tool Kit

We want everyone to share their love for Toronto community-based markets. 2024 marks the launch of the #ILoveTorontoMarkets campaign, and we hope market managers, vendors, and residents will embrace this theme and have it grow year to year. Order I Love Toronto Markets Merchandise here

Neighbourhood Markets & Food Tours

An immersive and tasty opportunity to strengthen the connection between Farmers’ Markets, local businesses and the neighbourhoods they serve. All tours are anchored in a neighbourhood market 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, registration is required and includes a $5 fee in order to secure your spot. These tours are valued at $68-100 per person but made accessible thanks to the City of Toronto’s Main Street Innovation Fund.
