The Pinery Market

 

In the 57 years since Pinery Market first opened, it has slowly evolved from a small open air antique market into Grand Bend’s most unique shopping experience. Stately oak trees that have been maturing alongside the market offer a shady oasis for both shoppers and the rotating coterie of 250 vendors, and a variety of family-friendly events will be happening on Sundays throughout the summer. 

There’s already so much going on at this historic shopping spot on a standard Sunday afternoon that just browsing around for a few hours feels like a special event. After all, Pinery is more than just some market - it’s all kinds of markets, all rolled into one!  a classic flea market, an antique market, a farmers market, and an artisan market featuring local makers. There’s even fun food and beverage options for when all that browsing has left you peckish and dehydrated.

Every Sunday this summer, people can do some light time travel with a trip to the Market’s retro watering hole, Tuck’s Gas Bar, where you can watch classic cars cruise around and listen to some music from local talent like Grand Bend’s favourite crooner, Brian Dale.

On June 16, the Father’s Day Food Truck BBQ will have dad-approved food, local beer and cider, live music, and lots of vendors with gift ideas for those hard to shop for fathers.

Street Food Sundays in July and August will be bringing in some of Ontario’s most interesting food trucks to Pinery Market that will showcase culinary culture on wheels.

End your summer on a sweet note with The Ice Cream Festival on September 15! From plain vanilla cones to ice cream spaghetti - there’s so much variety, and it’s all ice cream!
