Vendors, entertainment to take over downtown core on summer Saturdays
The Brampton Farmers’ Market, presented by Meridian Credit Union, returns to the downtown core for the 2023 season on June 10.

Throughout the summer months there will be additional programming and entertainment on market days. The market will run every Saturday from 8am-1pm through October 7.
Vendors are set up on Wellington St. W., from George St. to Main St. S. and in Gage Park. Those attending are also encouraged to shop local by visiting the many incredible businesses in the downtown core.
The Brampton Farmers’ Market is sponsored by Algoma University, Attrell Toyota and Flato Developments.
