Junction Public Market 2024
Vancouver’s newest outdoor market is now open, and a unique experience awaits attendees.
Junction Public Market, presented by Cadillac Fairview, has now taken over Granville Square until September 29th, 2024.
This new outdoor market was created with customized shipping containers featuring rotating pop-ups, local artisans, food vendors, a bar and a live entertainment space.
“Junction Public Market enjoys sweeping vistas of where the mountains and the ocean meet, overlooking the Port of Vancouver,” says Patrick Carnegie, a longtime public space manager and the co-founder of Junction Public Market.
“We can see shipping containers being offloaded next door, which is echoed by our design motif. We’re in the heart of downtown, with commuters hustling to Waterfront Station and visitors disembarking from the cruise ships. This is the perfect spot for us to create a destination, like a piazza, where everyone comes to meet, shop and enjoy a taste of Vancouver.”

Entry to the market is free and by partnering with Cadillac Fairview, the location overlooks the Vancouver harbour. The market is also easily accessible on public transit, situated next door to Waterfront Station, above a 441-space parking garage, near the end of the seawall bike path and steps away from the cruise ship port.
Some of the food and market vendors participating this year on a rotation basis includes Yo Bones BBQ, Focacciaza, Bao Buns, Tornado Potato, Verity Pearl, Puccissimé Pet Couture, and Soumak Boutique.

Over at the Sipping Container, enjoy local craft brews from Central City Brewers and Distillers, wine by Stag’s Hollow and JoieFarm Winery, Ward’s Cider and a selection of pre-mixed drinks at reasonable prices. Organizers say the bar may have extended summer hours on Friday and Saturday nights to enjoy sunsets and live entertainment overlooking the harbour.
“At Cadillac Fairview, we are guided by our purpose to transform communities for a vibrant tomorrow and we’re excited to collaborate with Junction Public Market and local businesses to create this meaningful experience for Downtown Vancouver,” commented Jesse Gregson, VP, Operations, Cadillac Fairview.
Completing the full experience at the market is The Music Box stage, a shipping container with a flip-down platform. This stage features local emerging performers, established acts and community festivals.
