The Halifax Port Authority is preparing the next stage of transformation of the historic Halifax Seaport District.

The Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market will be reimagined as a dynamic outdoor operation during the warmer months and an indoor weekend farmers’ market operating within Pavilion 22 during the winter months. The new outdoor weekend market will operate in a dedicated space near the current location and will include an overhead covering and amenities.

The PIER — short for port innovation, engagement and research

The Halifax Seaport Market Building will be renamed The PIER at the Seaport and will be transformed into a living lab for the transportation industry. PIER is short for port innovation, engagement and research. This will be a collaborative space where partners come together to work on problem-solving and explore new technologies in a live environment.

The PIER at the Seaport will include permanent leased storefront spaces for retail/eateries, providing tenants with weekday traffic from those working at the living lab and traditional weekend farmers’ market customers. This will further activate the area and help draw more people to the historic Halifax Seaport District.

This transition will take place during the spring, starting in mid-March.
