Kids’ Day at the Market is back after a hiatus of three years, and there is plenty to get excited about.
“We will have a bouncy house from Niagara Inflatables, face painting, crafts, Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum’s Tiny Museum, scheduled story times with local authors Kathryn Recourt, Diane Martin and the NOTL Library, and more,” explained Sharon Brinsmead-Taylor, the coordinator for Kids’ Day and for the Farmers’ Market, which is held every Saturday morning at 111 Garrison Village Drive.
The Farmers’ Market will be operating as usual, featuring local farmers and food producers offering take-home meal options and “eat-at-market” breakfast and lunch options. Artisans and crafters are also in attendance.
“It’s a great way for parents to break up the monotony of the summer time, and give the kids a chance to blow off some steam,” said Brinsmead-Taylor. “And it’s also a great way not to spend a ton of money.”
Teenage members of the NOTL Youth Collective will be volunteering their time for Kids’ Day, and there will be an opportunity to donate towards the Youth Collective.
Kids’ Day at the Farmers’ Market starts at 8 a.m. and runs until 1 p.m., this Saturday, July 29. A more detailed schedule will be posted at the market’s website: [email protected].
