This 2nd annual community event brings together dog families and local pet businesses for a vibrant day of shopping, wellness services, and interactive experiences. Well-behaved pups of all sizes are welcome to join their humans for a relaxed celebration of local makers and the dogs we love.

Held every Thursday evening in June, from June 4th to June 25th, 2026, this free summer concert series is set against the beautiful backdrop of Coronation Park and transforms warm nights into vibrant community gatherings. Local bands and performers take the stage each week, showcasing a diverse mix of genres—from jazz and blues to rock and pop—ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Families, couples, and friends settle in with blankets and lawn chairs as food trucks and local vendors create a relaxed, festival-style atmosphere. Now a beloved staple of Grimsby summers, the series celebrates live music, connection, and the simple joy of coming together outdoors.

Set up as a “Home Grown” Market, our vendors grow their own product and take the time to answer all the questions of the shoppers at the market. The Grimsby Farmers' Market runs rain or shine for the entire season. Thursdays from the beginning of June until Thanksgiving Weekend 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Main Street, downtown Grimsby.

Grimsby Farmers' Market is the heart of seasonal community life in Grimsby, bringing fresh local produce, handmade goods, and neighbourhood energy to town every week. Traditionally held right in Downtown Grimsby each Thursday from early June through the Fall — where Main Street comes alive with farmers, artisans, and families — the 2026 season will see this beloved market move to the newly expanded Major Refrigeration Peach King Centre to accommodate downtown construction. Whether you’re picking up Niagara-grown fruits and vegetables, meeting friends over local eats, or enjoying a leisurely summer outing, the Farmers’ Market celebrates our region’s agricultural roots and vibrant community spirit all season long.

The Merchants of Grimsby Board holds its monthly meeting on the second Wednesday of each month. These meetings are open to board members and are an opportunity to discuss ongoing initiatives, upcoming events, and matters related to supporting local businesses in Grimsby.
