ISLAND ROOTS FARMERS MARKET

Experience the Best of Local at Island Roots Farmers’ Market – October 8th with Deborah Henderson

Looking for the perfect midweek outing? Mark your calendar for Wednesday, October 8th, and head over to Island Roots Farmers’ Market at Beban Park in Nanaimo. As Nanaimo’s only year-round farmers’ market, Island Roots is the go-to spot every Wednesday from 3:00pm to 6:00pm, bringing together a vibrant community of local farmers, food producers, and artisans.

This week’s market is extra special as local author Deborah Henderson will be attending. It’s a great chance to meet Deborah, chat about her books, and maybe even grab a signed copy. Alongside Deborah, you’ll find a fantastic variety of fresh produce, baked goods, handmade crafts, and more—all sourced right here on Vancouver Island.

Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, Island Roots offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere that celebrates community and local talent. With easy access by bus, bike, or car, and plenty of parking around the Centennial Building, it’s never been easier to support local and connect with your neighbours.

Don’t miss out on this lively market day—come say hello, discover something new, and experience the best of Nanaimo’s local scene!
