Things to Do

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.

During construction, the Grimsby Farmers' Market will take place at the Community Center.

GrimsBOO returns to Downtown Grimsby on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM for a fun-filled, family-friendly Halloween celebration in the heart of the community. This much-loved event transforms downtown into a festive fall playground, featuring free activities throughout the core including kids’ trick-or-treating at participating businesses, costume photo opportunities, face painting, pumpkin carving, bouncy castles, large games, and interactive Halloween photo ops. Families can also enjoy special experiences like cookie decorating, character meet-and-greets, and themed activities hosted by local businesses and partners. With sidewalks buzzing, costumes everywhere, and downtown merchants fully activated, GrimsBOO is a highlight of the fall season and a safe, welcoming way to celebrate Halloween in Downtown Grimsby.
