The Indoor Market runs every Wednesday from the start of November until Christmas. Due to limited space, the indoor market has a hard cap on the number of vendors who may attend, and drop-ins are not allowed. Contact the Market Manager at 250-682-7975 or info@kamloopsfarmersmarket.com for more information. Applications for the Indoor Market will become available online at the beginning of September.

Applications are available on the Become A Vendor page of our website beginning in February. Please submit your application with a completed 2020 Contract. During the market season the board meets once a month (at the end of the month) for application considerations. If you are wishing to attend market before the next consideration meeting the market manager may be able to grant temporary approval for you to attend. Temporary approvals are processed once per month (mid-month), and vendors may only attend one market under temporary approval. Due to processing times, please expect to wait up to 2 weeks after before attending under temporary approval, and up to 1 month for full Board approval. You will be notified when your application has been processed.

We recommend the Seymour Parkade on Seymour Street, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues (free all day Saturday) and just a block from the market. There is also parking in the Stuart Wood Elementary parking lot behind the school; this parking is on a first come, first serve basis and is frequently full. Pay parking on side-streets is also available.

Vendors and community groups not assigned a parking space on Victoria Street are required to park their vehicle in a paid parking lot. Parking on the street is not permitted for vendors and community groups attending the Wedneday market, unless directed to do so by the Wednesday Manager. For market patrons: There is street parking, several parkades and parking lots in the downtown area available for market patrons.

The Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market takes place on public, city-owned land and therefore the market may not restrict dogs in the area. We do maintain that all patrons must have their dogs on leashes and under their control at all times.

No. We encourage all market patrons to ask the farmers and prepared food vendors what their practices are, so that you find the vendors who best meet your food needs. If you are interested in learning more about food issues, including organic certification, please see our Explore Vendors page.

There are porta-potties available at the Saturday market, ask any vendor for directions. On Wednesday you can access the public washroom in the TNRD public library building.

Contact the Market Manager at 250-682-7975 or info@kamloopsfarmersmarket.com.

FMNCP is a program administered through community agencies to give low income seniors and families access to local fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, meat, fish and dairy by offering coupons redeemable at the farmers’ market. In Kamloops the program is administered through our partners. Learn more.

You do need health approval in order to sell prepared foods, both low-risk and high-risk. All the information you need can be found on the Interior Health Authority website and through the Guidelines for the Sale of Foods at Temporary Food Markets. Low risk items need to be noted as such on your application to the KRFMS. Items that could be either low or high risk need to have testing done to ensure they are low risk. Please provide us with a copy of the testing results showing your items are low risk. High risk items require IHA involvement to obtain a health permit.

For labeling and packaging of food items it is best to check the Guidelines for the Sale of Foods at Temporary Food Markets.
