About the Event

Chocolate Talks with Coati Fine Chocolate

The highlight of the event is a series of short, engaging chocolate talks led by Christopher from Coati Fine Chocolate, one of the Market’s own vendors. Known for his carefully crafted chocolate and deep knowledge of the process, Christopher will be sharing how his chocolate is made, from start to finish.

These bite-sized talks run every fifteen minutes between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Each session is approximately 15 minutes long. Easy to join in whether you’re arriving right at the start or popping by partway through your Market shopping.

During each talk, guests will also have the chance to sample a few bites of Coati Fine Chocolate. It’s a simple, hands-on way to connect the story behind the chocolate with the flavours themselves. A great opportunity to ask questions and learn more about local chocolate making.

Valentine’s Craft-Making Station

In addition to the chocolate talks, visitors are invited to get creative at our Valentine’s craft-making station. Throughout the event, we’ll have supplies on hand so you can make a Valentine’s card from scratch.

This activity is open to all ages and experience levels. Make a card for someone you love, a friend, a family member, or even your favourite vendor at the Market. It’s a relaxed, drop-in activity that adds a personal and playful element to the day.

What to Expect

About the Event

The March Break Cardboard Construction Challenge is back for 2026, and it’s bigger and better than ever! After last year’s fun-filled week of creativity, Hamilton Farmers’ Market is once again transforming our event space into a playground for imagination. This free, drop-in style event invites kids, families, and young creators to take part in a hands-on building experience that celebrates ingenuity, community, and a love of design.

Over the course of the week, we’ll be collecting our best cardboard pieces and repurposing them into something truly special: a cardboard version of the Market itself. Participants are encouraged to recreate their favorite stalls or dream up entirely new Market concepts. Whether it’s a colourful produce stall, a whimsical artisan booth, or a futuristic Market idea, the only limit is imagination.
