Ottawa's Byward Market (Canada)
There's something about ByWard Market… It is unapologetically local, steeped in history and heritage while embracing modern tourism. The market's range is impressive—from fresh local produce and gourmet foods to artisanal crafts and boutique items. This variety, coupled with the authenticity of handmade goods, sets it apart from the usual retail spaces. It's as popular with locals as it is with tourists, keeping a lively atmosphere all year round. Even in winter, the market shifts indoors and keeps bustling. Talking to the locals, it's clear that Byward Market is crucial for small businesses and local entrepreneurs, fostering social + economic growth and a strong sense of community. These elements make ByWard Market a unique and economically vital part of Ottawa's fabric. (Must try: Beavertails!)
