Community Service Day
Join us for Community Services Day at the Barrie Farmers’ Market, a special event that brings together local heroes, essential services, and community spirit in one lively downtown setting.
Meet and engage with firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and more as they showcase their vehicles, tools, and stories. Families can enjoy hands-on activities like checking out a fire truck or chatting with first responders, while also connecting with community groups like the Barrie Public Library and Habitat for Humanity.
Alongside these exciting experiences, explore the full farmers' market with your favourite local farmers, bakers, makers, and even alpacas.
This event highlights the many incredible people and services that help make Barrie a safer, more connected place, all while supporting local food and small business.
