Farmers' Market Busker Application

About the Farmers' Market

The Lethbridge Farmers' Market presented by UFA serves as a vibrant hub for community gatherings. Organized by the Lethbridge & District Exhibition each year since 1962, this market highlights the finest offerings from our region, including fresh produce, delectable baked goods, artisan crafts, and an array of other treasures. 
  
As the sole Alberta-approved farmers' market in Lethbridge, our certification stands as a testament to our commitment to supporting local small-scale producers who craft, bake, and cultivate their goods. 
  
Mark your calendars for the Saturday Market at Lethbridge & District Exhibition, commencing on June 14. With an impressive turnout of nearly 57,000 attendees last year, it's an event not to be missed!
