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.
