Village of Hope Niagara has begun our Season of Hope campaign, working desperately through the coming weeks before the holidays, to see that our neighbours in need have what is necessary to see them through the Season of Hope, a hamper of food for a festive dinner with their children, or partners, – gifts, and most importantly, hope. Sponsorship levels of Family $250, Senior $100, or Child $50 (or other donations) enable us to share this care with our Lincoln neighbours in need

Since the early 1860s, the market has been a vibrant scene that offers fresh foods and handmade items from the local area. Visitors enjoy connecting and learning from the local vendors who grow and produce the meats, fruits, veggies and baked goods. It's a thrilling farm-to-table experience you don't want to miss!

You can find all of Niagara's bounty at the market, including:

Farm fresh produce
Baked goods
Pasture raised, hormone free meats including pork, chicken and beef
Local honey and preserves
Cured meats and cheeses
Fresh cut flowers and plants
One of a kind artisan products

Experience the joy of Christmas with your family and friends by heading to the Grimsby Museum, to see dozens of decorated seasonal trees, wreaths and prizes. 

If you’d like to win the displayed items to take home in early-December, you can purchase raffle tickets or bid on our online auction. 

Admission and entrance to this magical event is FREE. Don’t forget to visit the Museum’s own gift shop while you’re there. 

All the proceeds from the 2023 event go to 11 local registered charities.
