From the Electric Market to our Annual Halloween Pumpkin Patch, our Market has been busy from the inside out! We’ve had face painting and free hot chocolate, live music and led light swings. We can’t wait to continue planning exciting new events for the city of London; let us know what you’re hoping to see in the new year!

We’ve welcomed five new vendors to the Market this past year! If you haven’t yet, make sure to stop by and try out:

Laser engraving at Guindon Creations
The best chips and guacamole from La Parrillada
Crystal candles from Of The Earth Co
Coxinha from Supper Tasty

We welcomed Chero’s House of Pupusas this past year, but they unfortunately had to close due to unforeseen circumstances. We wish them all the best!

From London Knights tickets to Mother’s Day essentials, 11 lucky Market-goers won big! Keep your eyes peeled for more giveaways in the coming year.

Our Market Kitchen was full of local chefs and food lovers alike! From tomato parmesan soup to smoked salmon tartare, we learned how to expand our palate this year! Scroll down to see our list of January cooking classes for Saturdays & Sundays.

We hosted 11 days of Holly Jolly, full of holiday spirit and lots of smiles. Our first-ever indoor and outdoor holiday market was a huge success and took many months of planning, marketing and supervising. Thank you for ending the year at Holly Jolly with us!

Just a reminder that there is no Farmer’s Market in January.

The 2023 Farmers’ Market will resume upstairs in the Mezzanine starting Saturday, February 4th 9am to 1pm and will move back outside Saturday, April 8th (Easter Weekend) 8am to 1pm.

COOKING CLASSES ARE BACK! After 47 classes in 2022 and taking the month of December off to enjoy our Holly Jolly Holiday Market, our chefs and food lovers are ready to get back into the kitchen and demonstrate some more delicious dishes for you all to hopefully recreate at home for friends and family!

This Saturday, join us in the market kitchen for our cooking class hosted by Kimi Abdullah. Kimi will be demonstrating how to make Winter Salads.
