ABOUT:
Although somewhat dated in its appearance and offerings, Eau Claire Market once housed a bustling centre for locals and tourists alike. Located on the south shore of the Bow River at the access to Prince’s Island Park the Market remains home to some one-of-a-kind outlets that visitors may like to browse through. It also houses cinemas, equipment rentals including bicycles and rafting gear, some eating venues, galleries and a small grocery market. Eau Claire Market is a convenient refreshment stop for tourists exploring Prince’s Island Park or the south bank Bow River pathway network. Several of the adjacent buildings are historic sites worth exploring while an adjacent water park is a fantastic summer time destination or pit stop for families with young children. The plaza in front of the Market frequently hosts summer activities including food festivals and events that are open to the public.
