Need to stock your pantry and fridge with the best local food for your holiday meals? Looking for unique gifts that your friends and family won’t find online or at the mall? Stop by the Barrie Farmers’ Market on Saturday morning and enjoy some holiday cheer!

Take care of your holiday shopping and earn ballots with your purchases to use toward weekly draws for holiday prize bags. At every market in December you can win a Barrie Farmers’ Market prize worth over $400 in food, artisan gifts, and gift certificates. Draws will happen every Saturday at noon, so come back again and again for more chances to win.

Kids can get in on the fun too with a weekly craft table to create decorations.

On December 1, we’ll be joined by guest artisans from Camphill Communities, Astilbe Floral Boutique & Marketplace, and JR Kustom Woodworks.

You can also enjoy live music from Nicole Lisa Craig all morning long. Nicole has a deep love for the music of the 60s and 70s, and artists like Joan Baez, Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell. Nicole studied classical music, and performed with symphony orchestras and bands on French horn and flute before taking up the acoustic guitar. She released her third album “Lift” under her former stage name of Nicole Coward in 2017 and we received rave reviews about her performance at the Barrie Farmers’ Market earlier this year.
