Autumn is in full swing across New Westminster, and the New West Farmers Market (NWFM) is packing October with fall festivities to celebrate the final stretch of its 2026 regular season!

Before the season draws to a close, marketgoers can stop by Tipperary Park every Thursday to stock up on fresh seasonal produce, discover handcrafted artisan goods, and connect with local vendors.

To mark the end of another fantastic year, NWFM is throwing its most anticipated community tradition: the Annual Halloween Scavenger Hunt on Thursday, October 29th!

Bring the whole family down in your favorite costumes and explore the lively market grounds. As you stroll between the stalls, test your eye for detail by hunting down hidden, scare-tastic Halloween decorations tucked away by vendors. Uncover the clues, solve the hunt, and you might walk away with some sweet treats (or a harmless trick or two)!

Whether you’re embarking on the hunt, showing off your costume, or picking up final autumn essentials, it’s the perfect way for neighbors to celebrate the season finale together.

Gather your ghostly crew, put on your costume, and make your way to Tipperary Park for a spooktacular market afternoon!

Join the Halloween Fun at NWFM
