Byward Market
Where Profile
The Market has been a centre of commerce since Ottawa was first founded as Bytown in the early 19th century, and local farmers continue to sell seasonal produce from its stalls. In summer and fall, fresh vegetables and flowers attract chefs and gardeners, while hand-crafted clothing and jewellery stalls offer creations by local artisans. In spring, fresh maple syrup can be purchased directly from local producers. Dozens of cafés, restaurants, and nightclubs create a lively atmosphere.
