The first market highlighted on our list is also the oldest continuing farmers market in Canada. Established in 1876, the Saint John City Market is still a go-to place for local produce, meats, seafood, crafts, and much more. Their food court brings together local and international flavours to create one of the most diverse collections of cuisine on the East coast. Arts and craft junkies can discover all kinds of unique gifts browsing from merchant to merchant. With so much to offer, this iconic market is truly an original experience every time.
Land acknowledgement
The Saint John Region is situated on the traditional and unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’Kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati Nations. This territory is covered by Peace and Friendship Treaties signed with the British Crown in the 1700s. The treaties did not surrender the territory and resources, but recognized Wolastoqiyik, Mi’Kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati title, and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
