Time Out Market Montreal (Time Out Market)

It was nearly three years ago when it was revealed that the notable food and cultural market — Time Out Market — would be coming to Vancouver.

At the time, it was scheduled to open in late 2024, but that has come and gone. For a while, it was unknown exactly when the market would open its doors. However, fast forward to today, and we have an update from Time Out.

The market shared on Instagram that it has updated its opening date to Spring 2026 at Oakridge Park.

“Coming Spring 2026 – featuring the city’s best chefs and up-and-coming homegrown talent from the Vancouver food scene – you better start working up your appetite,” wrote Time Out.

For those unfamiliar, Time Out Market is known for “bringing the best of the city under one roof.”

The concept began in 2014 in Lisbon, Portugal, in a historic market hall.

Since then, it has opened additional market locations in Miami, New York, Boston, Montreal, Chicago, and Dubai.

Time Out Group aims to curate and create “the best of the world’s greatest cities” through its two divisions. It launched in London in 1968 as a magazine.

Today, the group operates websites, social media, newsletters, videos, live events, and these popular markets.

So, what can we expect from Time Out Market’s Vancouver outpost?

Well, we know it will be opening at Vancouver’s Oakridge Park, which is currently under construction and also has a Spring 2026 opening date.

Dished previously reported that this development will be a “highly sustainable, mixed-use, transit-oriented cultural hub” that boasts residential towers, workspaces, a nine-acre public park, a civic centre and library, indoor and outdoor performance venues, and a one million sq ft shopping centre.

Time Out Market will span over 50,000 sq. ft. across two levels of the shopping centre, and was previously said to include 17 live cooking kitchens, three bars, and even a coffee shop, alongside a stage, art and cultural spaces, and an open-air patio.

On top of all of that, a signature cocktail lounge will be found on the mezzanine of the space.

There will also be over 1,000 seats for people to sit back and enjoy their meals.

“Oakridge Park is a visionary development with a strong sense of community, making it a great location for Time Out Market, at the heart of which is to bring the best of the city together under one roof,” said Chris Ohlund, CEO of Time Out Group.

“We are delighted to partner with QuadReal Property Group and Westbank to bring Time Out Market to the beautiful city of Vancouver.”
