Brighten your summer with a visit to the Thornbury Flower Market, a brand-new outdoor market located in the Hester Street Parkette on Bruce Street South, brimming with freshly cut blooms. Held one Saturday a month on May 31, June 28, July 26, August 23, and September 20, this small yet vibrant event features 3-5 carefully selected artisans and local flower growers.
While you’re picking the perfect bouquet, make a day of it by exploring the charming boutiques, cozy cafes, and inviting restaurants that make Thornbury’s downtown so special.
On the 4th Saturday of every month (except July, August and December) 9am-noon area residents have the opportunity to bring their broken items to the Repair Café, where community volunteers use their skills to help repair them for free. We also share some social time, with coffee or a nice cup of tea and cookies. This adventure not only brings our community together to help our neighbours, it also lengthens the life of the items repaired/mended, diverts items going to our landfill and saves taxpayers money!
