NEWS RELEASE
BRONTE BIA
*************************
The Bronte BIA was pleased to officially launch its much-anticipated Bronte Farmers’ Market this past Sunday, July 7.
The Farmers’ Market is an outcome of a recent BIA-led community visioning process called Bronte Forward!, which asked local residents, businesses and community groups to paint a picture of their aspirations for Bronte. Ninety-one percent of survey respondents noted that a Market was a priority and would inspire them to spend more time in the district.
If the first Market Day was any indication, it’s going to be a bustling market season in Bronte. Over 3,800 people helped to kick of the event with 40 vendors – farmers, artisans, makers of prepared foods and bakers – and live performances by local musicians.
“We hope that the Bronte Farmers’ Market becomes a social and economic institution for supporting local and building community.” says Kylie Wilson, Executive Director of the Bronte BIA. “We want local residents and visitors from across Halton Region and beyond to spend their summer Sundays in Bronte gathering, connecting and enjoying a shared experience.”
The Bronte Farmers’ Market operates every Sunday in July and August from 11a.m. to 3 p.m. in Bronte Market Square; 2445 Lakeshore Rd W.
