The Barn Artisan Market

Experience the vibrant charm of the The Barn Artisan Market, a fully curated monthly market held at the historic Shawnessy Barn in Calgary. Established in 2020, this welcoming community event features over 30 local vendors across two floors, showcasing a diverse selection of handcrafted goods made in Alberta. With a fresh lineup of artisans, creators, and makers each month, no two visits are ever the same. Typically taking place on the fourth Sunday of each month from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the market offers a relaxed and inviting atmosphere in a unique heritage setting. Admission and parking are always free, making it an accessible outing for all. In the summer months, special night markets bring added energy with an expanded vendor lineup, live music, food trucks, and a lively community vibe.
