Discover the fresh flavours of Haldimand at the Dunnville Farmers Market, where local farmers, bakers, and artisans come together with seasonal produce and handmade goods.

Whether you're shopping for the week or just soaking in the small-town charm, it's a must-visit destination every week. Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to noon and Tuesdays 2:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

As the trees light up with reds and golds, Ruthven Park becomes a quiet stopover for birds on their long journey south. Early in the morning, you might spot volunteers gently banding tiny warblers and sparrows, checking their feathers, and sending them safely on their way. It’s peaceful, a little bit magical, and a great way to feel connected to the rhythm of the season. If you visit, bring a warm jacket, a thermos of something hot, and a bit of patience—you never know what birds might show up next.

Sept 1st - Nov 7th 

Tuesdays - Thursdays: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Saturdays & Sundays: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Step into a world of colour, creativity, and nature at the Hamilton Fall Garden & Mum Show! Ontario’s largest and longest-running chrysanthemum exhibition, proudly presented by the City of Hamilton’s Horticulture staff since 1920.

Hosted indoors at the Gage Park Greenhouse, this year’s show transforms over 20,000 square feet into a stunning, themed floral showcase featuring more than 200 varieties of chrysanthemums and over 100,000 blooms grown on-site. Every year brings a brand-new theme, and 2025’s "Under the Sea" will immerse visitors in a vibrant underwater world, filled with colourful floral displays, floral sea creatures, coral reefs, and interactive elements designed to spark curiosity and imagination.

Don’t miss out on all the extras!
