Markets are available all around Edmonton year-round, but these upcoming markets will only be popping up for a limited time, featuring vintage wares, tasty treats, and live music.

Pop-up markets are the new best thing in Edmonton, with a variety of events offering different themes, vendors, and entire experiences. Whether you’re looking for a market that’s all about Barbie or a back-to-school bash, we’ve got the most exciting markets coming up in the city.

Without further ado, let’s jump into the markets ahead of us in Edmonton.

Decades Market


This market offers two experiences: its night market on Friday and the day market on Saturday. Both are extremely fun, but with different vibes attached to the events. This is going to be Decades Market’s last market of the summer, so you won’t want to miss this one.

Friday will have less of a crowd due to the event being ticketed, meaning you’ll get VIP early access to all the best curated pieces. Saturday will feature switched-out vendors, meaning more variety in food and drink, as well as more sick clothing to sift through.

Both days, you can expect DJ sets, tooth gems, and so many more cool opportunities.

When: Friday, Aug. 21 and Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026
Time: 6 to 11 p.m. on Friday; Noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday
Where: 12017 102nd Ave., Edmonton, Alta.
Cost: $8.69 for night market; Free for day market

Barbie Dream Market
