Local Showcase

The Local Showcase is a special initiative bringing together some of the best local farmers, producers and food & beverage artisans. We have transformed stalls on the lower level of the Market into vibrant venues where you will be able to explore a diverse lineup of local business each day. Local foodpreneurs & farmers can showcase their products while expanding their customer base and grow their business right in the heart of Hamilton.

From local farmers to food artisans. Local Showcase is an incredible opportunity for growing your existing food or beverage-based business into a thriving business.
