Our goal is to provide fresh vegetables, fruits, and other food items on a weekly basis through our Free Fresh Food Market.

The Esquimalt Market uses a timed ticketing system to ensure a smooth, safe shopping experience. Tickets become available at 8:30 am and include your assigned shopping time selected through a random draw. Simply return at your designated time to shop. The market operates from approximately 11:20 am to 12:50 pm.

This ticketing system helps minimize crowding. By staggering arrivals in 15-minute intervals with small groups, we’ve significantly reduced wait times and line lengths for all visitors.
