Toronto’s popular Sunday Antique Market to restart in neighbouring Mississauga
Toronto's Sunday Antique Market returns in a new location
Toronto’s Sunday Antique Market will restart in a new location after a sudden closure in May 2022 ended its 31-year run at the city’s historic St. Lawrence Market.
The market will move to Mississauga, Ont., to the Small Arms Inspection Building at 1352 Lakeshore Rd. E.
A standalone pre-holiday show will be held Sat. Nov. 26, and the Sunday market kicks off Jan. 15, 2023. It will be held monthly instead of weekly.
While the Sunday Antique Market will no longer be located downtown, organizers say 200 free parking spaces and public transportation options will hopefully draw crowds from the city while attracting a new audience local to the Mississauga area.
The new venue is a short bus ride or 13-minute walk from the Long Branch GO station.

The weekly market had been held in the St. Lawrence Market’s North Building until 2015, when it moved to a temporary tent at the south end of the market complex while the North Building was demolished for reconstruction.
In May, market owner Marlene Cook cited pandemic restrictions and an increasingly inaccessible area for vehicular traffic as reasons for the closure on social media.
She said the city had not invited the Sunday Antique Market back as a tenant for its new North Building, expected to open in the third quarter of 2023.
At the time, it was unclear as to whether the market would continue operation.
