If you’re planning a fall trip to Tofino, there’s one more reason to head into town on a Saturday: the final weekends of the Tofino Market. This open-air market is a celebration of the community’s creativity, where locals and visitors gather to shop, eat, chat, and listen to music under the trees in the Village Green.
Whether you’re picking up handcrafted souvenirs or simply soaking up the good vibes, this is the perfect way to wrap up a weekend in Tofino, and it’s all just a short walk from Tofino Hostel Whaler’s Guesthouse.
The Tofino Market isn’t just a place to shop, it’s a weekly celebration of the town’s creative, coastal soul. Every Saturday from May long weekend to Thanksgiving, the Village Green transforms into a vibrant gathering space filled with live music, ocean air, and one-of-a-kind finds.
From handmade jewelry to small-batch hot sauce, the market is full of local treasures you won’t want to miss. Here are just a few of the incredible vendors you’ll find this season, but make sure to check out the complete artist directory on the Tofino Market website to discover even more talented makers and creators.

The Tofino Market runs from May Long Weekend through Thanksgiving, every Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM in the Village Green. That means if you’re planning a fall trip, you still have a chance to catch the final market of the season on Saturday, October 11.
It’s your last opportunity this year to enjoy live music, chat with local makers while browsing one-of-a-kind handmade goods. Bring your reusable tote and soak up the final weekend of this much-loved Tofino tradition before it wraps up for the season.
One of the best parts of visiting the Tofino Market? You don’t need to drive. When you stay at Tofino Hostel Whaler’s Guesthouse, you’re just a short, scenic stroll away from the Village Green. That means no parking stress, no need to pack up early, just grab a coffee from a nearby café, follow the sounds of live music drifting through town, and wander into the heart of the market at your own pace.
It’s the perfect way to start a relaxed Saturday morning. Maybe you’ll stop to chat with a local artist about their process, sample a homemade jam, or find a handmade ceramic that feels like it was made just for you.
Some guests come back with bags full of treasures, while others leave with nothing more than a good conversation and the memory of a perfect fall morning spent under the trees. However you enjoy it, the Tofino Market is more than shopping, it’s a feeling. And staying nearby at Whaler’s means you get to take it all in without ever rushing.
If you love local, support small businesses, or just want a beautiful place to spend a Saturday, don’t miss your last chance to visit the Tofino Market this year.
