About St. Lawrence Market
It’s one of the world’s great markets –
each merchant a square on a lively and authentic patchquilt. The
mothers, sons, fathers and daughters whose hard work and passion
for food and their craft make up the collective story of the
Market. You’re here, and part of the story. There’s so much to
see, taste and discover – now, where to begin?
The St. Lawrence Market Complex today is comprised of three main
buildings: The South Market, the North Market and St. Lawrence
Hall.
The South Market
The main and lower levels of the South
Market contain over 120 specialty vendors, known for the variety
and freshness of their fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, grains,
baked goods and dairy products, as well as for the uniqueness of
the non-food items for sale.
The second floor of the South Market is home to the Market
Gallery, an exhibition space for the City of Toronto's Cultural
Services.
The North Market
The North Market is primarily known for
its Saturday Farmers' Market, a tradition begun on this site in
1803 and continuing today, as the producers of Southern Ontario
bring their seasonal produce to market in the city.
On Sundays, over 80 antique dealers fill the North Market and
the surrounding plaza, displaying their wares from dawn to 5
p.m. Admission is free.
Every other day, the 10,000 square feet of modern showroom space
in the North Market is available to rent for promotional
functions, flea markets, displays, large social gatherings,
meetings and exhibitions.
St. Lawrence Hall
St. Lawrence Hall, built in 1850, today
houses retail businesses on the ground floor and City offices on
the second floor. The third floor, restored in 1967 as the City
of Toronto's Centennial project contains the Great Hall which,
with the ancillary rooms, is available for rental for weddings
and other special events.
