On March 17 Wesley McCarthy performs at the market with acoustic guitars and looping capabilities in support of the local artisans and farmers and also in honour of Saint Patrick, who apparently was captured by Irish pirates at one time, who then forced him to tend sheep. You know him as the patron saint of Ireland, the guy who holds a three-leaf clover.

Join us at the market every Saturday, all year long. The Barrie Farmers’ Market keeps bringing fresh local goodness to the City Hall rotunda all the way through April. Stop by between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. and meet your local farmers, producers, chefs, bakers, and artisans, then enjoy some skating on the Circle at the Centre. See you Saturday!
