Farmers Market Events

The St. Catharines Farmers Market hosts a variety of events and special attractions throughout the year from live-music concert series to market sampling and more.

Upcoming Events

Join us at the Farmers Market on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, for some fun with family and friends from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This interactive table will allow young shoppers to decorate our market table with fun colours, and craft a Valentines 'plant'.

All visitors will have an opportunity to enter to win a market bag full of products from our market vendors.

Market tote bags and gift certificates will be available for purchase for those looking for a present for that special someone that is hard to buy for.

Did you know that we are celebrating 15 years this year for the Market Discovery Table?!

This interactive series highlights local farmers and provides the opportunity to learn about a seasonal produce item, including its history, nutritional value and preparation ideas. Come savour what fresh picked tastes like as we feature our farmers and for our young patrons: make a fun craft.

Come learn about local groups and organizations in the Niagara Region in our Community Engagement Series at the Farmers Market!

Organizations and groups attend the market year-round both on Thursdays and Saturdays connecting you with the community. Visitors have an opportunity to learn about culture and recreation from performances from local vocal groups, drumming demonstrations by members of First Nations, or the spinning the wheel of fun with Brock.

On Saturdays during the main market season (mid-May to mid-October), you will find a large variety of organizations in the outside market area. Outside of the main market season, you can find the organizations set up inside Market Square both on selected Thursdays and Saturdays.

Is your organization interested in participating? Applications are accepted based on availability.
