The Brockville Farmer’s Market on Market Street West in Brockville, Ontario, has published its 2026 season schedule, confirming weekly downtown market days for both spring and summer. The market’s website lists Saturday markets from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. beginning May 1 through the end of the growing season, and Thursday markets from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. between June 21 and Sept. 11, 2026. (Note: May 1, 2026 falls on a Friday; the market traditionally opens the first Saturday in May — likely May 2 — so confirm the exact opening Saturday with market organizers.)

The Saturday market, established in 1833 and among Ontario’s oldest continuously operating markets, traditionally kicks off the first weekend of May and continues every Saturday into the fall. The midweek Thursday market provides a fresh-produce option for local residents, seniors and downtown workers during the height of the harvest season.

Local farmers and artisans rely on the schedule announcement to plan planting, baking and crafting cycles well in advance. The market board works with the City of Brockville and the Downtown Brockville BIA to allocate stalls and promote the market alongside “Shop the Street” events that boost downtown foot traffic.

The market maintains a producer-focused policy intended to prioritize goods grown or made by the vendor, a practice that distinguishes the Brockville Farmer’s Market as a hub for locally sourced goods and supports the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville’s agricultural economy. Before publication, confirm the precise vendor-rule wording or link to the market’s vendor application/rules page or obtain a short confirmation from the Market Board.
