A morning feast
Fill your morning with food! Orangeville’s long list of culinary offerings should top your itinerary so you’re best to get started early. Begin with a Saturday morning visit to the bustling Farmers’ Market where you’ll be greeted with friendly smiles and fresh food from over 30 local vendors. The weekly event is hosted near Town Hall, a tradition dating back to 1876 when the building was constructed. From this central location, our community’s vibrant spirit stretches out on to Broadway, Orangeville’s main street. Tempting selections from cafes, bakeries, and food shops are the perfect complement to your market haul.
As you make your way around downtown Orangeville, be sure to stop in at the shops and studios that line the street to discover a treasure trove of one-of-a-kind items. Chances are high that the historic buildings and intriguing medians will also catch your eye. Take your time to take it all in.

When the night has come
