Sunday farmers' markets

Here’s our take on two Sunday markets that get lumped together because both sit on the Eglinton corridor but honestly shouldn’t. One is a Forest Hill neighbourhood market on a Green P lot. The other is the Afro-Caribbean farmers’ market on the Fairbank Station plaza in Little Jamaica — built around Caribbean and African produce, Black farmers, and the cultural district. Get the hours, a peek at their vendors, and whatever else we could find all in one place. Hours and stalls from MarketRegular. Tap a name for the live listing.

Eglinton Way BIA Farmers’ Market4.9 out of 5 from 12 reviews4.9 (12) · 125 Burnaby Boulevard · 8 AM–1 PM · Jun 7–Oct 25

Ninth annual season since 2018. The market sets up on the west side of the Green P lot just north of Eglinton near Castle Knock — Forest Hill’s Eglinton Way strip, not Eglinton Ave W and not Little Jamaica. Rain or shine. Local farms, prepared food, handmade crafts, weekly live music, and free kids activities nonstop. You’ll also find a few Caribbean and Latin American stalls in the mix (Pattoa’s vegan Jamaican "Yatty", Square One Haitian, Tun Up, Real Empanada) inside a broader neighbourhood market. Avenue or Chaplin on Line 5, or the 34 Eglinton bus, gets you close.

Afro-Caribbean Farmers’ Market4.8 out of 5 from 29 reviews4.8 (29) · 1815 Eglinton Avenue West · 11 AM–4 PM · Jul 5–Oct 4

Season 5, back in Little Jamaica after a year away, is now on the outdoor plaza at Fairbank Station (same address as the LRT stop). Exit the station onto the plaza rather than hunting an old Green P on Eglinton – this is a new location. Built as an intentional space for Black farmers, growers, and food businesses, with culturally appropriate Caribbean and African produce alongside diaspora urban-farm harvests, sauces, baked goods, and prepared food. It sits in Toronto’s Little Jamaica–Afro Caribbean Cultural District along Eglinton West. Get off at Fairbank on Line 5.

Look for rumcake jars and ice cream at A Rich Tradition, black rum cake and escovitch at Suddie’s Kitchen, and produce / food-access information from Toronto Black Farmers and Atiba Farm.

• 8 AM: Eglinton Way4.9 out of 5 from 12 reviews4.9 (12) on Burnaby if you want the early open, rain-or-shine produce, music, and kids activities on the Forest Hill side.
• 11 AM: Fairbank / Little Jamaica4.8 out of 5 from 29 reviews4.8 (29) on the station plaza for the Afro-Caribbean market — later start, runs to 4 PM.
• MarketRegular Tip: These two Sundays share Line 5, not a continuous strip and definitely not the same kind of market. Burnaby is a neighbourhood market that happens to host some Caribbean stalls and Fairbank is the cultural-district market built around Black food sovereignty in Little Jamaica. Do Eglinton Way first (opens at 8 AM, wraps at 1 PM), then ride west to Fairbank (opens at 11 AM, wraps at 4 PM) — about a two-hour overlap if you want to visit both during the same trip. Fairbank’s published season ends Oct 4 but Eglinton Way runs through Oct 25. If Little Jamaica is one you've been planning for all summer, plan a visit in the coming weeks, but don't leave Eglinton Way to the last second.
