Johnstown Landing Artisan & Farmers Market

The Johnstown Landing Artisan & Farmers Market is a recurring outdoor community market held in Johnstown, a small community in Richmond County on Cape Breton Island. The market hosts a variety of vendors and brings together local producers, artisans, and shoppers in an accessible, informal setting suited to both residents and visitors passing through the area. The market takes place at Johnstown Landing — just across from the Johnstown Parish Hall on Highway 4 — in good weather, or inside the Johnstown Parish Hall if conditions require a move indoors. This flexible arrangement means the market runs reliably through the summer season regardless of weather. Operating on Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., the market runs on a schedule well suited for a leisurely morning outing. The market draws a mix of farmers and artisans, reflecting the dual focus its name suggests. Shoppers can expect to find locally grown produce alongside handmade crafts, artisan goods, and other products made or sourced in the region.
