St. John's Farmers' Market

Vibrant, diverse, and full of heart, the St. John’s Farmers’ Market is a must-visit spot for 2SLGBTQIA+ travelers looking to connect with the local community in a fun, low-key way. Located in the historic St. John’s Lions Club building, the market has become a weekend ritual for locals and visitors alike—and it’s one of the most inclusive, welcoming spaces in the city.

Open year-round on Saturdays (and seasonally on Wednesdays), the market showcases everything from fresh local produce and artisan baked goods to handmade crafts, ethically sourced gifts, and a rotating selection of global eats. It’s a reflection of St. John’s creative, multicultural energy—and yes, there are plenty of queer vendors and allies among the mix.

The indoor space is bright and modern, with communal seating that makes it easy to strike up a conversation over a locally roasted coffee or plate of Sri Lankan curry. There’s often live music, pop-up performances, and even wellness events, making it a great way to experience the community vibe beyond the nightlife scene.
