Orangeville’s farmers’ market is moving to a temporary spot on Broadway between First and Second Streets this Saturday, June 6, 2026, so shoppers and music fans can enjoy both the market and the Orangeville Blues & Jazz Festival in one trip downtown.

The Downtown Orangeville BIA says the market will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., an hour later than its usual 8 a.m. start. Visitors will still find fresh produce, baked goods, meats, and handmade crafts from local vendors.

The Orangeville Blues & Jazz Festival is back for its 22nd season, running from June 5 to June 7. The festival has been named one of Ontario’s Top 100 Festivals and Events for 13 years in a row. This year, over 40 acts will perform, including Canadian headliners like Emilie-Claire Barlow, Miss Emily, the Blackburn Brothers, the Paul James Band, and Alex Pangman & Her Alleycats. Downtown streets will be closed to traffic, turning the area into a pedestrian-friendly hub with multiple stages, including the TD Main Stage in Alexandra Park.

The one-hour delay in the market’s start time helps accommodate festival setup and street closures. The annual collaboration gives market vendors a chance to reach thousands more visitors. In 2024, the festival drew about 40,000 people, setting an attendance record. Organizers hope combining the events creates a full day of shopping, live music, and local food right in the heart of Orangeville.
