Johnstown Landing Artisan & Farmers Market

The Johnstown Landing Artisan & Farmers Market is a recurring outdoor market held in the small rural community of Johnstown, located in Richmond County on Cape Breton Island. The market hosts a variety of vendors and draws together local producers, artisans, and shoppers in a setting that reflects the community-oriented character of this part of the island. The market takes place at Johnstown Landing, directly across from the Johnstown Parish Hall on Highway 4, with outdoor setup in fair weather and an indoor option inside the Johnstown Parish Hall when conditions require. The Landing itself sits along the Bras d'Or, giving the market a scenic waterfront backdrop. Market hours run on Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. , making it a manageable morning outing for visitors staying anywhere along Cape Breton's south shore or exploring the Richmond County area. The September date situates this particular market day in the heart of harvest season, when farm produce, preserves, and late-summer goods are typically at their most varied.
