N/A: Stanley Park Street Vendors

In certain areas of the Stanley Park Seawall Promenade you will find local artist seeling carvings, paintings and other local crafts.

I watched some guy carve for a while and I never bought anything but if I did it would have been here. You could tell the things were local and more authentic as apposed to the tacky touristy gift you will see in most gift shops.

Granville Island Market: Granville Island Market Granville Island Shopping Review

The centrepiece of the Island shopping experience, the Public Market is an irresistible emporium of green grocers, butchers, bakers, fishmongers, importers, ethnic food sellers, craft vendors, sweet stands, florists and casual eateries. It also features a wine shop and a micro-roaster of organic coffee.

Everything in the Public Market is on display, from bakery backrooms to a mini fudge-making factory.

Fifty permanent vendors and a constantly changing array of farmers, artisans and cottage industry food producers are open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week.

I remember the fresh fruit, berries and meat very well. Great for barbeque season I am sure.
