✨ Why This Event Is Worth Your Saturday
Streetsville has a deep connection to butter tarts — they’re not just a snack here, they’re part of the local identity. This market brings together the best local bakers who’ve perfected the craft, all in one place on the same day. It’s a rare chance to taste side-by-side comparisons of different styles and flavors, meet the makers directly, and support small businesses that have been part of the community for years.
The event feels intimate despite drawing crowds. The Streetsville Civic Centre is walkable, the vibe is relaxed, and there’s room to move around without feeling rushed. Families come with kids, friends come for the tasting adventure, and collectors come to find their new favorite baker. By 2 or 3 PM, the most sought-after vendors sell out, which says everything about the quality.
Beyond butter tarts, there’s a real marketplace happening. Local bakers bring their full range — macarons, artisanal breads, cookies, pastries — and the local makers’ section showcases handmade goods from jewelry to home goods. It’s Streetsville’s version of celebrating local, all in one space, for free.
🎉 What Happens on the Day
The market opens at 10 AM sharp, and that’s when energy is highest. Doors stay open until 4 PM, but the real advantage of arriving early is selection — the best-selling items are often gone or running low by mid-afternoon.
📅 Saturday, September 19, 2026
10:00 AM – 4:00 PM EST
Streetsville Civic Centre, 213 Queen St. S, Village of Streetsville

The whole marketplace — bakers, sweet treat vendors, and local makers — is set up indoors with easy browsing. No reserved seating or ticketing. You walk in, explore, taste samples where offered, chat with the bakers about their recipes, and buy what catches your eye. Kids often get excited about the variety and the chance to sample different flavors.
Most vendors accept both cash and card. Bring a bag or come prepared to carry purchases, as many items are packaged fresh that day. If you’re planning to buy a few boxes, consider arriving before noon when the selection is fullest.
🧁 Butter Tarts & More: What to Look For
The star of the show is, of course, butter tarts. Local bakers competing in this space take pride in their recipe, filling ratio, and crust — and the differences between them are real and worth tasting.
🧁 Butter Tarts Galore
Classic styles with and without raisins remain the foundation. Expect to find pecan butter tarts (a favorite), chocolate chip variations, and increasingly creative flavors like salted caramel, brown butter, white chocolate, and even savory-leaning options. Taste a few styles back-to-back to find your preference.
🍪 Sweet Treats & Baked Goods
Macarons in various flavors, artisanal breads, French pastries, cookies in creative varieties, brownies, tarts (non-butter), and other baked items round out the marketplace. Many bakers use this as an opportunity to showcase their full range beyond their signature item.
🛍 Local Marketplace
Handmade goods from local makers — jewelry, home decor, preserves, crafts, and other unique items. This section is great for finding gifts or treating yourself to something locally crafted. Many are from makers with Streetsville roots or long-standing community ties.
