Hello RFM Community!
We are excited to share that beginning Saturday, May 2, 2026, our outdoor farmers’ markets will return to City Square on Pat Fiacco Plaza. This means that both Wednesday and Saturday markets will operate downtown once again, marking a return to our longtime home in the heart of the city.
When Saturday farmers’ markets were relocated in 2024, the intention was always to return downtown once construction conditions allowed. Over the past two seasons, Confederation Park served us well, and we’re incredibly grateful to REAL District for their ongoing flexibility and support.
In fall 2025, we took the time to gather additional input through surveys, vendor engagement, and a public panel. Nearly 1,700 survey responses confirmed a strong public preference for a downtown home for the farmers’ market. This decision also reflects the broader role that our market plays as a gathering place and contributor to downtown vibrancy and revitalization.
In the coming months, we’re excited to announce additional initiatives in partnership with Regina Downtown BID. These efforts will address common concerns related to parking, mobility, and safety to help ensure RFM remains welcoming and accessible for all.
You may have also seen our RFP for a feasibility study exploring what a permanent, four-season home for our market could look like. While that future vision continues to take shape, City Square will remain the home of our outdoor farmers’ markets for the foreseeable future.
Above all, we want to thank our community for continuing to show up, wherever we are set up, and for your ongoing support of our local farmers, food producers, and makers. We’re looking forward to an incredible season on the plaza and we cannot wait to welcome you back!
Following the outdoor season, on October 17, 2026 our farmers’ markets will return to Banner Hall in the REAL District for the indoor season.
