ByWard Market

The best place in town for one-stop shopping. Outdoor vendors cluster around the grand maroon-brick ByWard Market Square building, which dates from 1926. Many merchants operate booths year-round, but the winter weather drastically reduces the number of businesses. In summer, over 260 stalls fill the streets, selling fresh produce from local farms, flowers, seafood, cheese, baked goods, souvenirs and more.
