The Niagara Falls Farmers’ Market will return for its 2025 season with a 24-week run from May 17 to October 25. The market will operate every Saturday regardless of weather conditions, continuing its tradition of connecting local producers with community members through the growing season.
The market will be hosted at MacBain Community Centre, located at 7150 Montrose Road in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This central location offers free parking and easy access for both residents and tourists. It’s a change from the previous venue at Niagara Falls Exchange. The community centre provides excellent venue facilities for both vendors and visitors throughout the season.
New home at MacBain Community Centre provides convenient access and free parking for all market visitors.
Market hours will run from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM each Saturday. Early shoppers seeking bulk purchases can arrive at 6:30 AM. The busiest shopping period typically occurs between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM, according to market organizers.
Vendors hoping to participate can apply starting February 7, 2025. The market prioritizes local farmers, growers, and artisans who can prove their products are locally produced or handcrafted. All applications must be submitted by April 30, 2025, with fees varying based on booth size and product type.
Shoppers can expect a wide range of offerings including seasonal fruits and vegetables, artisanal baked goods, cheeses, preserves, and handcrafted items like soaps, textiles, and pottery. Many vendors highlight organic and non-GMO options. Hot meals and beverages will also be available.
The market supports over 50 local small businesses annually and helps reduce food transportation emissions. Free sustainability workshops will be held every other week, and the market has arranged for surplus food to be donated to the Niagara Food Bank.
Visitors won’t pay an admission fee, and ATMs and card payment stations will be available on-site. Those seeking more information can visit the official website at niagarafalls.ca/market or contact vendor services at [email protected]. Social media updates will be posted regularly on the market’s Instagram account.
The annual reopening date will be confirmed through municipal announcements as May approaches.
Community markets like this continue to bring people together while supporting local businesses and artisans. Easy access to information and payment options makes it even more welcoming for visitors. Stay connected to more community events and seasonal updates on Marketplace Niagara.
