The Lethbridge Farmers’ Market has shared its 2026 Saturday busker lineup, giving shoppers a new reason to plan their weekly visits around rotating live performances. Local artists will take the stage every Saturday from June 13 through October 17 at the Lethbridge Trade & Convention Centre, with no markets on August 15 and 22 because of Whoop-Up Days.
The busker program, presented by 98.1 The Ranch, features six performers: Makayla Mtasi, Charlie Navratil, Eve Lacey, Maria Pickering, Zuri Rae, and A2. Each Saturday brings a different artist, and the full schedule is available on the Excite Lethbridge website. Performances happen between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.
The market is now organized by Excite Lethbridge, which took over operations after the Lethbridge & District Exhibition split into two groups on September 18, 2025. Nearly 70,000 people attended last year, and organizers see the busker lineup as a way to support local talent while adding to the community feel. The UFA Agricultural Community Foundation presents the Saturday market itself, which remains Lethbridge’s only Alberta-approved farmers’ market, meaning at least 80 per cent of products sold are made, baked, or grown in Alberta.
Starting Saturday, September 19, the market will move into UFA Hall inside the Agri-food Hub & Trade Centre. Visitors are encouraged to use the south parking lot for the easiest access. Admission and parking remain free for everyone.
The full list of performers and their dates can be found through Excite Lethbridge. Residents can look forward to live music while supporting local growers and artisans every Saturday through mid-October.
