Halloween Celebration

Get ready to kick off Halloween early at the Hamilton Farmers’ Market! On Saturday, October 25, the market will transform into a festive destination filled with treats, creativity, and fun for all ages. Whether you’re a pumpkin enthusiast, a candy collector, or just love getting into the Halloween spirit, this is the perfect way to celebrate the season.

TRICK OR TREAT

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., visitors can stroll through the aisles and trick or treat with participating vendors. Kids and adults alike are invited to dress up in their favorite costumes and collect delicious goodies while exploring everything the market has to offer. It’s a great way to discover new vendors, enjoy the lively atmosphere, and take part in a long-standing seasonal tradition—all in one place.

PUMPKIN CARVING WORKSHOP

One of the highlights of the day will be the Pumpkin Carving Workshop, held in the York Blvd Event Space from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. This hands-on activity is perfect for anyone who loves to get creative. You’ll have access to all the tools you need and expert guidance from Zachary Flavelle, professional Pumpkin Carver. From scooping out pumpkin seeds to carving your own unique jack-o’-lantern design, it’s an experience that brings the Halloween spirit to life. The workshop is free to join. You will need to either bring your own pumpkin or purchase one directly from market vendors. Whether you’re a first-time carver or a seasoned pumpkin artist, it’s a fun and relaxed way to enjoy the day.

PUMPKIN SCAVENGER HUNT

Throughout October, visitors can also take part in the Pumpkin Scavenger Hunt, a playful challenge that runs across the market. Keep your eyes peeled as you explore—pumpkins will be hidden in unexpected spots, waiting to be found. It’s a family-friendly adventure that adds a festive twist to your market visit and keeps the Halloween excitement going all month long.

Beyond the spooky fun, the Hamilton Farmers’ Market is home to more than 45 local vendors, offering everything from farm-fresh produce to artisanal goods and handmade crafts. It’s the perfect spot to grab your fall essentials, enjoy a hot drink, and support local businesses while soaking up the vibrant community energy.
