The Aurora Farmers’ Market (AFM) is a diverse community of artisans, farmers, food preparers, musicians, volunteers and community groups. To be a part of our market, every vendor must produce 75% of the items brought to the market.

Vendors at Aurora Farmers' MarketWe are members of Farmers’ Markets Ontario, our governing body. We have high standards and are proud to be considered an
Ontario Tourist Destination. The market operates every Saturday, 8am-1pm, from the first Saturday in May to the last Saturday in October. Rain or shine!
