Anchored on Young Street in Welland's market square, this long-standing market has drawn shoppers every Saturday for more than a century. A permanent indoor hall keeps a core of vendors trading through the winter, while spring through fall brings a wider spread of outdoor stalls piled with local fruit, vegetables, flowers and homemade fare.
The market works as much as a community meeting place as a shopping trip, with generations of Niagara families and visitors passing through for their weekly produce, cheese, cured meats and baking. Free to browse and open early, it pairs naturally with a stroll along the recreational canal that runs through the city's core.
