With deep regret, organizers have announced the cancellation of the 2025 Martensville Summer Market season. Despite growing community support and an increase in customer turnout in recent years, the market was unable to secure enough committed regular vendors to proceed this summer.
Several factors contributed to the shortage of vendors, including personal and professional commitments, as well as some vendors choosing to participate in the newly established Warman market, which is scheduled at the same time. Organizers expressed their gratitude to the vendors who did step forward and attempted to keep the market going.
“The decision is unfortunate, but necessary,” Martensville Summer Market Manager Marjan Petter stated. “So many of you came out to support the market and our customer base had increased significantly over the past couple of years. Thank you to all present and past vendors for all of your support.”
While the Martensville Summer Market will be on pause for 2025, the local entrepreneurs who make it special are still hard at work crafting, baking, growing, and creating. Community members are encouraged to continue supporting them directly through the contact information provided below:

The Martensville Summer Market, formerly known as the Martensville Farmers Market, has long been a beloved fixture in the community. Running weekly through the summer months at the Martensville Corner Store parking lot, the market has offered everything from fresh produce and baked goods to handmade crafts and artisan items. A 2023 rebrand to a summer market aimed to better reflect its expanded offerings and the diversity of home-based businesses it supported.
Though 2025 will be quiet for the market, organizers remain hopeful for a revival in future seasons. Stay tuned for updates and new opportunities to support local in Martensville.
