Browsing the Farmer’s Market is one of those weekend (or weekday events) that’s a lot of fun for the kids, and the chance for you to discover some new local favourite. It’s the chance to grab produce for the week, and for our Edmonton kids, the chance to take part in Kid zone, a bounce castle or slide and gems like the Sprout Kids Club.
The best kid-friendly Farmer’s Market in Edmonton + area:
Miller Crossing Farmer’s Market Fun | The market is about more than shopping! In addition to shopping for fresh produce, baking products, meats and local business, there will be a lot of fun for both kids and parents such as an inflatable bouncy castle, face painting, cartoonist, balloon twister, live music and more. Miller Crossing Farmers Market will be a great learning experience for the kids interest in setting up their business at the market. Kids are encouraged to bring their business ideas and sign up for the Kids Business program.

Callingwood Farmers Market | Opening May 1st, Callingwood Farmer’s Market is our top choice for kid-friendly because of the special event days (June 22, July 27, August 17) including free bounce castles and petting zoos at the market.
Market Hours: Sundays 10-3, Wednesdays 2-6.
Baseline Farmer’s Market | This is one of the three Farmer’s Markets in Sherwood Park and features a bounce castle for children, and you can get unlimited slides for kids (last year it was $5) – perfect way for the kids to be occupied while another parent shops the market.
Market Hours: Wednesdays 4-8
Southwest Edmonton Farmer’s Market | Another gem because of the slide set up for children, crafts at the Market for kids and great balloon animals, the Southwest Edmonton Farmer’s Market also features our favourite selection for parents. Kids can sign up for the Sprouts Kids Club, and learn about healthy food choices at the Farmer’s Market, and earn $2 with their stamped passport, to spend at the Farmer’s Market.
Market Hours: Wednesdays 4 – 7:30
St. Albert Farmer’s Market | For the kids, there’s face painting, balloon lady, street musicians, singers – room to run a bit and lots of energy, and things for them to explore. As one of the larger markets, you’re sure to find everything from food for dinner, food trucks and those ‘extras’ that make the Farmer’s Market just so much fun to explore.
Market Hours: Saturdays, 10-3
City Market | This one makes the favourite because of the delicious popsicles from Cafe Bel Air, made with fresh ingredients that don’t mean the kids are going to get hopped up on sugar. Plus, the market is usually followed up with a run through the new spray feature downtown, to cool off.
Market Hours: Saturdays, 10-3
