While the farmers’ market wasn’t always known as the City Market Downtown, it has always been a fixture in downtown Edmonton. In 1903, the Rice Street Market was first established by what was then the Town of Edmonton’s Council. Located at Market Square, now the site of the Stanley A. Milner Library, the market quickly established itself as a regular destination every Saturday for Edmontonians. It was a central location from which local and regional farmers could sell their produce and other farm products, and where Edmontonians could shop, socialize and be entertained.
