Welcome and thank you for considering being a vendor at the Bronte Farmers’ Market! We’re so happy you’re here. Managed by the Bronte BIA, we are a Community Market that aspires to provide residents and visitors with quality produce and products made by local farmers, baked goods and tasty eats, as well as one-of-a-kind products created by local crafters and artisans.

ABOUT BRONTE

Considered one of Oakville’s most sought-after neighbourhoods – an intersection of city life and suburban waterfront living – Bronte is transforming itself into an exciting, complete community designed for the future.

When people visit Bronte, they take-in green space, sports & recreation, arts & culture, robust retail offerings and heritage & history. It is a place people visit to gather and belong, define common purpose, and bridge across differences.

WHY A MARKET?

The 2024 season will be the first annual launch of the Market in Bronte. A recent BIA-led community visioning process called Bronte Forward! asked the local community to paint a picture of who we are, what we care about and what we want to be. We learned that people have a desire for more family-friendly programming, sidewalk cafés, music performances and, of course, a Farmers’ Market. Ninety-one percent of survey respondents noted that Market was a priority and would inspire them to spend more time in Bronte.
