Granville Island Public Market

The Granville Island Public Market opened in 1979 in a former industrial building on Granville Island and operates year-round in an enclosed space. It generally has about 50 vendors selling produce, seafood, meat, cheese, baked goods and ready-to-eat food, with seating overlooking False Creek.

The market is the hub of Granville Island, surrounded by artist studios, galleries, theatres and the Kids Market. Small Aquabus and False Creek Ferries boats link the island with downtown, Yaletown, the West End and Vanier Park, making the trip part of a rainy-day outing. Bus 50 also serves the island, and weekday mornings are the calmest time to visit.
