The 10th Annual Bridge Street Bazaar will showcase the center of this colourful and historical town, including a sidewalk shop with over a hundred vendors. Visitors can Meet Us “Downtown” On the Mississippi, have the opportunity to shop, enjoy some great local entertainment and eat at waterfront pubs and restaurants.
The entire downtown section of Bridge Street will be shut off to vehicular traffic, making way for a pedestrian-friendly area where both vendors and merchants alike can display and sell their products. The full-day schedule of the sidewalk sale includes various activities and attractions – including some of Carleton Place’s finest musicians, mascots and dancers.
This family fun event offers something for even our youngest visitors – petting zoo, pony rides, face painting and balloon animals are among the many activates that will delight the young and young at heart. The sound of pop, rock and country will fill the air as spectators enjoy a full day of live local entertainment. Entertainment in the downtown market full of variety, and best of all, free of charge!
With community groups, restaurants and arts programs all coming together for the day, visitors will truly be able to immerse themselves in the culture of Carleton Place, discovering all that our great town has to offer. When the BIA works together with the Carleton Place community, great events are born that work to unify the people and develop a community’s attraction and overall spirit.
What’s NEW this year? Final details are being ironed out for an exciting addition to the annual event so stay tuned to the website for updates.
Registration is now open for vendors at the 2015 BIA Bridge Street Bazaar. The cost is $30 for a 10′ x 10′ space.

Our Mission
Just picked snow peas from the market
By fostering engagement and relationship among market goers and local environmentally responsible food producers, the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market increases access to and awareness of local and seasonal food. Here we will consciously offer fresh food options that are as healthy for the people who eat them as for the ground in which they are grown.
Our hope is to create a unique experience in our downtown area for all who shop here.

History
The Carleton Place Farmers’ Market opened its doors in 1991 with a couple of farmers. Since then and after many different locations the farmers’ market is proud to call Market Square its new home. The market is also proud that it still has one of its founders still selling at this year’s market.
Partners
What would we be without our community partners? The Carleton Place Farmers Market continues to successfully join forces with the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce, the BIA and the Town of Carleton Place to provide special events and local activities that promote our community and bring awareness to the importance of “buying local.”

This past winter, having been a mild one and the low level of water in our lakes means early and heavy invasive seaweed problems in all of our lakes, resulting in problems with weeds getting tangled up in boat propellers and personal water craft motors, not to mention the unsightly views from your shore.
You don’t want to use harmful chemicals and the use of weed removal products such as rakes can be troublesome, backbreaking and very labor intensive.
There are some options for you to consider.
– WeedRoller option for a weed-free beach/swimming area and the – AquaSweep to get rid of the muck build-up.
We also carry other options such as mats, cutters and raking systems.
Imagine no more weeds in your swimming and docking area! It can happen.
Imagine getting rid of muck and silt, it can also happen.
Give us a call to discuss your aquatic weed removal needs
