Saint John City Market

Fodor's choice

This is the oldest continuously operating farmers' market in Canada, dating from 1876, and the building occupies a whole city block between Germain and Charlotte streets. Inside, it's a lively and bustling shoppers' dream-come-true, with a wide range of temptations—fresh and organic produce from local farms, live and fresh-cooked lobsters, artisan cheeses, dulse, international foods, craft beers, local wine, and tasty, inexpensive snacks. Local artists and artisans are also represented, making this a great stop for souvenirs and arts and crafts.

Handworks Gallery

Some of the best professional crafts and fine art created in New Brunswick are carried by this lively gallery, which represents more than 60 Saint John artists and artisans. The historic building was the home of 19th-century painter J.C. Miles.

Queen Square Farmers Market

Local vendors set up their stands on this leafy square every Sunday in summer, and it's a great place to wander, soak up the atmosphere, view the crafts and foods displayed for sale, chat to the farmers and artisans, and maybe hear some live music.
