What You'll Find Every Wednesday

The Wednesday market is intentionally intimate with a curated selection of 12–20 local vendors focused on what West Edmonton shoppers love most: real food, grown close to home.

Fresh Alberta Produce — Seasonal fruit and vegetables harvested fresh and brought directly to market. Strawberries, peas, beans, zucchini, tomatoes, corn, and more as the summer unfolds.

Homemade & Artisan Goods — Freshly baked bread, preserves, honey, specialty sauces, and handcrafted food products made in small batches by passionate local producers. DIY

Handmade Workshops — Once a month, a hands-on craft workshop led by a local artisan. Watch our events page for details.

Live Music — Local musicians perform acoustic sets throughout the market, turning your mid-week errand into something you'll actually look forward to.

See you behind the TD Bank. https://www.callingwoodfarmersmarket.com/events/wednesday-market
