About the Market
The Peninsula Country Market opened to the public in July 1991 at the old Saanichton Fairground in Saanichton village and is the longest-running market in the Victoria region east of Metchosin. The market operated on the Old Fairgrounds in the village for a few years before moving to its current location at the Saanich Fairground on Stelly’s Cross Road.
Our market was the only community market on the Peninsula during the 1990s, attracting thousands of people each Saturday from across the region.
