Looking for the Leduc xmas market this year? The main one most people mean is the Leduc Christmas Farmers Market. It runs Saturday, December 5, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Leduc Recreation Centre (4330 Black Gold Drive). Admission is free, and vendor applications filled up early.
It’s the same market that has been a local staple for years—just the holiday version. Expect local makers, baked goods, handmade gifts, and the usual community feel you get at the regular Leduc Farmers Market, only with more twinkle lights and people finishing their Christmas shopping.

What to Expect at the Leduc Christmas Farmers Market
If you’ve been to the regular Thursday or Saturday farmers market at the Rec Centre, the Christmas version feels familiar but busier and more gift-focused. You’ll find local producers and makers selling handmade items, festive décor, artisan products, baked goods, preserves, jewelry, soaps, candles, and seasonal treats.
It’s not a massive multi-day festival. It’s a solid one-day local market where most of the money stays with people who live and work in the Leduc area. Families bring kids, people stop to chat with vendors they’ve bought from all summer, and a lot of folks treat it as their main local Christmas shopping stop instead of driving into Edmonton.
Bring cash (or a card—many vendors take both), and plan on walking the full space. The vendor mix changes a bit every year, but the core is always local food and handmade gifts.
Parking, Getting There & Practical Tips
The Leduc Recreation Centre has a large parking lot. On a normal Saturday it handles the farmers market just fine. December 5 will be busier, so arriving closer to opening or later in the afternoon usually means an easier walk from the car.
If you’re coming from Edmonton, Beaumont, or Nisku, it’s a short drive south on Highway 2 or via 50 Street / Black Gold Drive. Give yourself a little extra time if the weather is messy—Leduc does a decent job clearing main roads, but December can still throw a curveball.
A few practical notes:
- Go earlier if you want the best selection of popular items (especially baked goods and unique gifts).
- Most vendors accept cards, but cash is still useful for smaller purchases.
- It’s indoors, so weather isn’t a big issue once you’re there.
- Check the Leduc Farmers Market website or City of Leduc events page the week before in case of any last-minute timing notes.
Other Christmas Markets in Leduc 2026
The December 5 Farmers Market is the one most people call the Leduc xmas market, but Leduc has a few other holiday markets worth knowing about if you want more options.
Silver Bells Winter Market
December 11–13, 2026 (Friday to Sunday), 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the same Leduc Recreation Centre. Free admission. Another large vendor market focused on local products and gifts. It runs longer, so it’s a good backup if you miss the December 5 date.
Leduc Golf Club Christmas Artisan Market
November 21–22, 2026 at the Leduc Golf Club (5725 Black Gold Drive). Free entry (they ask for a non-perishable food bank donation). Smaller artisan-focused market with handmade goods.
Leduc Public Market Christmas Craft Fair + Santa Claus Parade
Sunday, November 22, 2026. The craft fair runs inside City Centre Mall (roughly 12 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.) and pairs with the Santa Claus Parade that evening downtown. Good if you want to combine shopping with the parade.
There are also smaller one-day markets earlier in November (school gyms, community halls, etc.). Those tend to be more casual and change year to year. The December 5 and Silver Bells events are the most consistent larger ones.
