Visit the Gibsons Public Market

Our Community’s Gathering Place

A warm and inviting community gathering place featuring local food merchants, an award-winning bistro, a collect-hold-release aquarium, and engaging community programs and events.

We are a public market located in lower Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia.

We know the amazing power that food has to bring people together. Our bustling public market features six merchants and an award-winning bistro providing a variety of fresh, local food since 2017. Each locally owned business is independently operated and provides the best that the Sunshine Coast has to offer. From spot prawns to burgers, we have it all.

Our vision is to create a vibrant hub of Coastal life. We do this by hosting some of the Sunshine Coast’s best events and bringing people together. We also provide a connection to our ocean through the Nicholas Sonntag Marine Education Centre, a collect-hold-release aquarium located at Gibsons Public Market.

We hope to see you soon for a cooking class, a bite to eat, or simply catching up with friends!

A Gathering Place

Gibsons Public Market was created to bring people together through inviting spaces, innovative programming, special events, inspiring educational opportunities and rewarding conservation projects.

Coastal Connections

It’s all about connection! Connecting with others to build a strong sense of community. Connecting with our ocean to support the sustainability of our local ecosystems for the benefit of current and future generations.

Meet our People

Our first contact with the Market was a tour offered by Georgy Good when the Market was nearing completion. We were impressed by the vision of the market as a community hub and a gathering place which could host a variety of activities.

I love seeing the regulars. The people who come in every week and enjoy a meal at Emelle’s and then head downstairs to pick up their groceries. It's nice to be that place where they can relax.

I quit my office job to live the dream and start a bakery. I never thought the best part of owning my own business would be the customers.

I love the energy and vibe of the Market and the quality of the merchants. The opportunity to finally start my own business and bring quality miso food to the community has been wonderful. I love working in such a vibrant place.

The three days our daughter spent at camp was the best three days of fun and education she has had in a while... I loved hearing the excitement in her voice.

It has been a fantastic experience having the Gibsons Public Market host our Black History Month annually. We are very grateful and recommend this great facility. Many, many thanks!
