Summer Vendor Applications are Open!
Support local where it matters most. Alberta Approved Farmers’ Markets connect you directly with local farmers, bakers, makers, and crafters, ensuring your dollars stay in Alberta.
By shopping local, you’re investing in small businesses, local food systems, and strong, connected communities.
We have two shifts available each market day:
- Setup & Vendor Support (before opening)
- Market Support & Takedown (during/after market).
A great way to meet people, support local vendors, and be part of the market community.
*Vendor insurance is required, but please wait until your application has been approved before obtaining insurance.
- We will notify vendors of their application status shortly after they apply.
- We will email invoices for stall fees at the time of acceptance, and payment is due upon receipt.
- All vendors must have insurance that lists the Dalhousie Community Association as the additional insured, and they must send insurance requirements to the Market Manager at least one week before their first market.
- Most vendors use a 10×10 tent for outdoor markets (a minimum 25lb weight per leg is required and more is recommended).
- Outdoor market stalls include parking.
If you have any questions about the market, please email the Market Manager at market@dalhousiecalgary.ca.
The Dalhousie Farmers’ Market is an Alberta Approved Farmers’ Market and follows the “Made, Baked, or Grown in Alberta” rule. At least 80% of our vendors sell products made, baked, or grown in Alberta.
*New for 2026*
The Dalhousie Farmers’ Market Coupon Program
We are proud to introduce the Dalhousie Farmers’ Market Coupon Program, a brand-new initiative launching this Summer Market season.
At the Dalhousie Farmers’ Market, we are committed to reducing food insecurity and improving social inclusion. The program strengthens access and inclusion while bringing $20,000 in spending directly to our vendors.
Thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Calgary Foundation, the Dalhousie Farmers’ Market will become the first farmers’ market in Calgary and only the second in Alberta to offer a market-wide coupon program like this.
Programs like this have been running successfully for years in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia, and we are thrilled to bring this proven, well-loved model to Alberta.
Participation in the Coupon Program is required for all Summer Market vendors, but we have intentionally designed it to be simple, low-effort, and vendor-friendly. You will find all the details in the FAQ section.
We can’t wait to see the positive impact this will have across our market this summer.
