Now settled into their new location at 73 Brock St., the popular, beloved Soo Market continues to bring Algoma together. Visitors can expect to find a lively farmers market with dozens of local vendors, crafters, fresh produce, local meat and fish, prepared foods, handmade items, and artisanal goods.
Save the Date: Holiday Hours and Moonlight Markets
As the holiday season approaches, you’ll have more opportunities to shop local. In addition to their regular Saturday hours, the market will be open every Wednesday from Nov 27 to Dec 18 from 6pm to 9pm.
You’ll also want to mark their two Moonlight Markets in your calendar. They will be held on Thurs, Nov 14 and Dec 12 from 6pm to 9pm.
These will be held with the Sault Ste. Marie Downtown Association, alongside other activities like the tree-lighting ceremony, photos with Santa, live music, late-night shopping, hot chocolate, and carolers.
“The market is the perfect place to find a unique handmade gift or local food items, baking, and more for the holiday season. We make it easy to give a gift made with love,” says Robert J.F. Pryor, Operations & Communications Manager.
“By enjoying our farm-fresh produce, you’re empowering hard-working local farmers, and when you pick up a beautiful, artisanal creation, you’re preserving local traditions and artistic heritage.”
“Some businesses got their start here, testing the public’s appetite for their goods before branching out to open their own storefronts. Many make their living selling at markets like these.”
Open Year-Round
The delights of this popular gathering place in downtown Sault Ste. Marie aren’t limited to the holidays, though visiting during the Christmas season is highly recommended.
The market is open every Saturday from 9am to 2pm, with additional operating hours that vary throughout the year, including Thursdays during the summer months.
Regardless of the month, to plan your outing consult their seasonal produce calendar and vendor list before you go.
