The public square on Charlotte Street, just east of Aylmer Street, is well situated in the heart of downtown Peterborough, with convenient access to Peterborough Transit and public parking at the King Street Parkade right next to the Square. The location is linked to the active transportation network with multiple trails and bikeways leading to downtown.
“We’re thrilled to have Peterborough Regional Farmers’ Market operating in Quaker Foods City Square. The market fulfills two important roles for our downtown - it provides local produce, prepared food and local artisans’ work, and perhaps more importantly it helps build a sense of community. It will be a great experience to stroll through the Square, pick up some local goodies at the market and meet up with friends and neighbours,” said Town Ward Councillors Alex Bierk and Joy Lachica.
“We are genuinely excited for this opportunity the City of Peterborough has given us. There is an understanding as to the importance a vibrant urban market can bring to the Peterborough Downtown Core. The site is on the former location of the Wednesday market and many vendors are overjoyed to be returning to a location that had a strong and vibrant place in the city. We look forward to a great summer filled with exciting events, and wonderful seasonal products,” shared Jeff Wagner, chair of the Peterborough Regional Farmers’ Market.
