Lethbridge residents are looking forward to the return of the local farmers’ market as the 2026 spring season approaches in Lethbridge, Alberta. The Lethbridge & District Exhibition has managed the annual event since 1962, making it a long-standing tradition for the community.
The market is typically held from May through October at the Agri-Food Hub & Trade Centre. As of March 18, 2026, organizers are preparing to accept vendor applications for the upcoming season, though a specific opening date has not yet been confirmed.
Because it is an Alberta-approved farmers’ market, vendors must follow strict rules about the goods they sell. According to Tourism Lethbridge, at least 80 per cent of all products must be grown, made, or baked by the vendors themselves.
The market serves as a major link between agricultural producers and people living in the city. It continues to be a key event for the local economy by supporting regional farmers and artisans in the Southern Alberta area.
