First opened in 1876, the City Market has withstood the test of time – from the Great Fire of 1877 which devoured the city around it only a year after it opened, to the twentieth-century urban renewal that built a brand new city right outside the iron gates.

A full city block in length, the Market runs downhill from the ‘head of the Market’ on Charlotte Street, gently sloping to the Germain Street entrance, a full 10 feet below! At both entrances hang the same gates that have swung closed at the end of each business day since 1880. Crafted from heavy wrought iron, their graceful design is a tribute to the skill and artistry of the local blacksmith who created them.

Sample local delicacies such as Dulse, Maple Syrup, local cheeses and chocolate! In addition, shop for local artisan jewellery, art, crafts and clothing.
