Yellowknife Farmers Market

Rain or shine, the Yellowknife Farmers Market runs every Tuesday evening at Somba K’e Civic Plaza in front of City Hall from mid-June to mid-September from 5:15pm – 7:15pm. Bring your family and friends to enjoy a delicious dinner in the sun. Shop for locally grown produce, locally harvested fish, fresh baked breads, homemade jams, artisanal crafts and more. Equal parts social gathering, shopping extravaganza and Subarctic feast, the market features wild produce, fresh fish, Northern jams, artisanal crafts, and food carts operated by local restaurateurs.

The market also hosts programming each week, such as Music at the Market with free outdoor concerts in City Hall’s amphitheater space, a loyalty card program for visitors who bring reusable containers for their food, and a Harvesters Table program, which helps local gardeners sell off their excess produce.

In 2025, there will be no market on Tuesday, July 1 (the City of Yellowknife will be hosting Canada Day events at Somba K’e Civic Plaza that day). Instead, the YKFM will be extending its season to September 16.
