Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market

The Halifax Farmers' Market was created by Royal Proclamation in June of 1750, a year after the founding of Halifax. Initially located at the present day Bank of Montreal building, it sold produce and livestock from Acadian farms in the Annapolis Valley and local farm production. In 1848, the City of Halifax was incorporated, and the original City Charter conveyed the Country Market property to the city for public use. The Market has operated in several locations across the city since its inception, moving to the Halifax Seaport in 2010, where it is now known as the Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market, the longest continuously running market in North America.

The market emphasizes local production, connecting consumers directly with farmers and artisans who bring fresh produce, meats, and handcrafted goods from the surrounding regions.

The Halifax Seaport is a vibrant arts and cultural district at the south end of the Halifax waterfront, extending from Piers 19 to 23. It features artisans, retailers, cruise terminals, event facilities, cafés, galleries, offices, a museum, a university, and the Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market. This redeveloped district showcases local talent and is a popular destination for both locals and visitors. Vendor attendance may vary, but a wide array of local products is consistently available.
