Brandon Farmers Markets Guide

Brandon Farmers Market (summer)

The main outdoor farmers market typically runs from late May through October. Saturdays in the warm months. Location and vendor list shift year to year — usually announced in early May. Local produce, baked goods, honey, preserves, soaps, and crafts.

Best source for current year's schedule: the market's Facebook page, or the City of Brandon recreation page.

Winter farmers markets & craft sales

Through fall and winter, indoor markets pop up at the Keystone Centre, community halls, and church spaces. Christmas markets in November / December are well- attended. These are usually one- or two-day events advertised on Facebook a couple weeks ahead.

What you'll typically find

• Local produce in season (June – Sept is peak)
• Local honey and maple syrup
• Preserves, pickles, jams
• Baked goods — bread, pastries, perogies
• Eggs from local farms
• Crafts, soaps, candles
• Occasional prepared food vendors

Tips for new market-goers

• Bring cash. Many vendors take e-transfer but cash is fastest.
• Bring your own bags — most vendors don't supply them.
• Best produce selection is early in the morning.
• Vendors rotate weeks; if you're looking for a specific producer, check their Facebook to confirm they'll be there.

Nearby regional markets

Several smaller towns near Brandon (Carberry, Souris, Neepawa) run their own farmers markets on different days of the week. If you're flexible on day, you can hit multiple markets in a weekend.
