NEW Parking for Market Shoppers

The Parkade at 28 York Blvd was SOLD and is no longer operated by the City of Hamilton. The Hamilton Farmers’ Market is being allowed to continue to offer one-hour free parking during Market hours. The red payment machines on Levels 1 & 2 of the Parkade were removed November 15th.

Parking at 28 York Blvd is now even easier for Hamilton Farmers’ Market shoppers. When you park in the 28 York Blvd Parkade (operated by OVG Group), simply come INSIDE the Hamilton Farmers’ Market and look for our Pay Sign. There is one located inside York Blvd entrance on the right side and another sign is located by the Market Office.
