  • About the Farmers' Market

    The Lethbridge Farmers' Market, presented by UFA Foundation, serves as a vibrant hub for community gatherings. Organized by Excite Lethbridge (formerly known as Lethbridge & District Exhibition), this market has been held each year since 1962. It 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 the Lethbridge Trade & Convention Centre, commencing on June 13. With an impressive turnout of nearly 57,000 attendees last year, it's an event not to be missed!
