Granville Island Public Market
About
Granville Island Public Market lives in corrugated tin sheds that once built machinery for Vancouver’s forestry and mining industries. Where buzzsaws and factory whistles used to sound, you now hear stallholders and the clatter of a food court.

Industry ruled the island for most of the 1900s. When the market opened in 1979, the sheds found a gentler trade. Today they hold farm produce, a sausage shop and Lee’s Donuts, which has welcomed celebrity visitors, Seth Rogen among them. The food court runs from bratwurst to smoked salmon bagels.

VoiceMap’s Granville Island walking tour takes you through the food court and into the produce hall. It also explains how a peninsula that isn’t an island, beside an inlet that isn’t a creek, went from factories to artists and chefs.
