Farmers' Markets in Toronto's West End and Core: The 2026 Guide

Here's the thing about farmers' markets in this city: between the west end and the core, you can hit a different one almost every day of the week. We already covered Etobicoke's markets in their own guide, so this one picks up where that left off. The eight markets below run west to east, starting near Runnymede and ending at Front Street, and there's a weekly schedule chart at the bottom if you just want the when and where. Fair warning before you plan your week around any of it, dates and hours shift from season to season, so give any market a quick check before you head out.

New to the west end and figuring out which pocket suits you? Have a look at our neighbourhood guides while your peaches ripen on the counter.

1. Annette Village Farmers' Market

The westernmost stop on this list sets up Wednesday afternoons from 3 to 7 in the church parking lot at 680 Annette Street, early June through early October. It's the smallest market here and that's the charm. You'll recognize the vendors by July and they'll recognize you, and it pairs nicely with a stroll along Annette's shops on the Junction's quieter side.

2. Junction Farmers' Market

A few blocks east, the Junction market fills Baird Park at 275 Keele on Saturdays from 9 to 1, mid-May all the way to Halloween. It fits the neighbourhood: good coffee nearby, live music some weekends, and a lineup of prepared food that makes it easy to turn a grocery run into lunch.

3. Sorauren Farmers' Market

Most markets take Monday off. Sorauren doesn't, which makes it a bit of a Toronto unicorn. It runs Monday afternoons from 3 to 7 at Sorauren Park on Wabash Avenue, just off Roncesvalles, from early May through late October. It draws a loyal crowd from Roncy, Parkdale and High Park, and the after-work timing means you can land dinner ingredients on the walk home.

4. Dufferin Grove Farmers' Market

Dufferin Grove runs Thursday afternoons from 3 to 7 at the clubhouse at 875 Dufferin, and it doesn't stop when the weather turns. This is one of the few markets in the city you can count on in February, with an organic focus that has kept the same farmers coming back for decades. If you only learn one market schedule, make it this one.

5. The Stop at Wychwood Barns

Up near St. Clair West, this Saturday market runs 8 to 1 all year inside and around the old streetcar barns at 76 Wychwood Avenue. It's run by The Stop, a community food organization, so your basket does a little extra good here. The barns themselves are worth the visit, and the winter edition is one of the cosiest shopping experiences in the city.

6. Trinity Bellwoods Farmers' Market

Tuesday belongs to Trinity Bellwoods, 3 to 7 in the park at Dundas and Crawford from early May into late October. It's exactly what you'd expect from one of the city's busiest parks, good produce and better people watching. Go hungry, leave with flowers you didn't plan on buying.

7. The Market at SickKids

A downtown sleeper most people miss. The market at SickKids on University Avenue runs Tuesdays from 10 to 2, early May through late October, and it's handy if you work in the hospital district or anywhere near Queen's Park. Smaller and quicker than the park markets, which is exactly the point on a workday.

8. St. Lawrence Market

And then there's the granddaddy. The Saturday farmers' market at St. Lawrence has been running since the 1800s, and the current version goes from 5 in the morning until 3 in the North Building on Front Street, every week of the year. Go early. The good stuff does not wait for brunch hours.

What about Liberty Village?

Liberty Village has hosted its own Sunday market in past summers, but it has come and gone over the years, so check the neighbourhood's social feeds before you count on it. The good news for anyone in the Village: Trinity Bellwoods is a short walk up Strachan, and Sorauren is one streetcar away. Nobody in that postal code is going without local strawberries.
