7 DAYS A WEEK FROM 9AM - 5PM.

For almost 200 years, ByWard has been home to outdoor vending in Ottawa. Whether you’re popping into the local butcher for the cut of the day, discovering unique fashions, or being inspired by artisans and crafters, there is something new to discover with every visit! The outdoor public market season runs from May to December, but the area is alive all year round with dynamic restaurants, artisan groceries, unique retail, and of course street theatre!

Starting in May vendors wrap around the historic ByWard Market building creating a unique outdoor shopping experience. Over the holidays, the area offers the finest trees and decorations as we help ring in cheer across the City.

Be a part of the tradition this season and stop by the ByWard Public Market!
