What it means for residents
For residents living across York Region and northern communities in the Greater Toronto Area, the annual market offers an accessible, indoor shopping destination located directly along Yonge Street in Newmarket. Being hosted at the York Region Administrative Centre makes it a familiar civic location for visitors travelling from Newmarket, Aurora, East Gwillimbury, and Richmond Hill. Operating during regular daytime hours, local workers, families, and retirees can browse regional offerings and purchase gifts directly from small independent craft makers. Furthermore, spending at the event provides an immediate charitable contribution to the broader GTA community, as event proceeds support United Way Greater Toronto, an agency funding social safety networks and assistance programs throughout the region. With free admission and open access, the market serves as an easy way for local residents to support regional artisans and community giving.
