The Barrie Farmers’ Market is moving to its outdoor location at the Mulcaster Street circle starting May 2, 2026. This seasonal change moves the weekly event from the indoor City Hall Rotunda in Barrie, Ontario, to the area surrounding the building for the warmer months.
The outdoor season typically runs from May through October to accommodate a higher number of local growers and producers. This transition is a long-standing tradition in the city that allows residents to shop for fresh local goods and handmade items in an open-air environment.
While the venue changes with the weather, the market operates year-round every Saturday. The location at City Hall is part of a historical land agreement that requires the City of Barrie to provide a space for the market to serve the community.
The move to the Mulcaster Street circle is intended to foster community engagement and support local business owners. The market acts as a central hub for fresh food and local artisans throughout the upcoming harvest season.
