The Calgary Farmers’ Market will soon be larger and more accessible for all the people that love to visit.

With one popular market already located in the south, this massive second location is currently being built in West Calgary. It’s set to open next month!

“Our market family will be growing by 50,000 sq ft!” Brittany Fitzgerald, the marketing and operations coordinator for the Calgary Farmers’ Market, told Dished in an email.

“Our second location is due to arrive in summer 2022.”

The current location is open Thursday to Sunday from 9 pm to 5 pm, located just off Heritage and Blackfoot at 510-77th Avenue SE.

The new west location will be in the community of Greenwich, across from Winsport.

“Our second location will be just 15 minutes from Calgary’s vibrant downtown core and less than an hour to the mountains.”

“The scenic neighbourhood of Greenwich is where urban sophistication meets active outdoor living,” Fitzgerald added.

Having this additional location in a vibrant part of Calgary is exciting enough, but the space is also being designed to offer an entirely new experience for Calgary.

“Calgary Farmers’ Market West will transport you to old New York with the spirit of the Rocky Mountains,” said Fitzgerald.

“The second location will offer an engaging experience in a welcoming space to eat, connect, and be entertained in al-fresco style shopping and dining areas.”

“Other notable features include private event space, an expansive indoor kids’ play area, outdoor activation spaces, and access to parks and leisure areas.”

The look and location might be a bit different, but many familiar faces of the market can be found at this new spot. There will also be plenty of exciting new ones too.

“Customers can look forward to visiting over 75 vendors, many of which are the well-loved favourites of Calgary Farmers’ Market South, with the addition of some new, up-and-coming local businesses,” said Fitzgerald.

“CFM West will showcase a 60/40 split, with 60% of our vendors being familiar favourites from our south location and 40% fresh faces.”

The official opening date for this exciting second location coming in August has yet to be announced, so stay tuned for more updates.

In the meantime, take a trip to the Calgary Farmers’ Market South location at 510-77th Avenue SE.
