The Sidney Street Market is preparing for its upcoming summer season in Sidney, British Columbia, with events returning to Beacon Avenue starting in June. While community members may be looking forward to the return of the popular outdoor gathering, organizers have confirmed that the market does not operate in April.
According to the Town of Sidney, the 2026 summer market season is set to run weekly on Thursday evenings from June 4 to September 10. The events take place from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and are operated by Kaemac Services.
The market is widely recognized as the largest outdoor market on Vancouver Island, typically drawing between 3,000 and 5,000 visitors each night. It features over 150 vendors offering a variety of goods, including local produce, food, artisan products, and live entertainment. The event has become a significant staple for the downtown core, supported by the Sidney Business Improvement Area as a major driver for the local economy.
Residents and visitors looking for community events in the area during April should note that the town calendar currently lists the BC Boat Show, which takes place from April 30 to May 3. There are no street markets scheduled in Sidney for the month of April.
