✨ Why This Market Is Worth a Saturday in Napanee

This market is a relatively new addition to downtown Napanee — the Lennox & Addington Chamber of Commerce relaunched it in June 2025 as a reimagined weekly event, and 2026 is only its second full season. That newness shows up in a good way: it’s still actively growing its vendor base, and the Chamber updates its website weekly with exactly who’s showing up that Saturday, rather than leaving visitors guessing.

Being chamber-run rather than a farmer-cooperative market gives it a slightly different flavour than most of the county’s other markets — it leans a bit more toward local small businesses and makers alongside the produce stands, and it’s explicitly framed around a “shop local, shop Canadian” message that ties into the broader Lennox & Addington business community.

The setting helps too: Market Square sits right behind Napanee’s Old Town Hall in the historic downtown core, an easy walk from the shops along Dundas Street and the Napanee River waterfront. It’s a compact, walkable setup that makes it easy to pair a market visit with a longer morning downtown.

🗓️ Market Days & Hours

The 2026 season runs every Saturday from May 16 through October 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Worth noting: the market’s first season in 2025 ran longer hours (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) into late October. The 2026 hours and closing date are shorter per the Chamber’s own current vendor information — a good reminder to double-check the Chamber’s site if you’re planning a visit near the start or end of the season.

🧺 What You’ll Find at the Market

Because the vendor roster rotates — some sellers commit to the whole season, others drop in occasionally — the exact stalls change from week to week. Here’s the general mix you can expect to see represented most Saturdays.

Fresh local produce & fruit Homemade baked goods & bread Honey & maple syrup Sweet treats & preserves Home décor Home & beauty products Handcrafted items Food trucks & prepared food

🚗 Getting There & Parking

The market sets up in Market Square, the Old Town Hall parking lot at Centre Street and Market Square, right in downtown Napanee.

By car: Napanee sits just off Highway 401, about 25 minutes west of Kingston. The market’s own lot behind Old Town Hall provides on-site parking, with additional street parking throughout downtown within easy walking distance.

💡 A Few Things Worth Knowing Before You Go

📋 Check the weekly vendor list first. Because the lineup rotates, the Chamber posts an updated “who’s at market” list on its site each week — worth a quick look if you’re chasing a specific vendor or product.

💵 Bring cash as a backup. With a rotating mix of small vendors and occasional sellers, not every stall will have card payment set up.

🕘 It’s a shorter window than some markets. With hours ending at 1 p.m., this isn’t an all-day event — plan to arrive by mid-morning for the best selection.

🚶 Combine it with downtown Napanee. Market Square is a short walk from Dundas Street shops and the Napanee River waterfront — easy to turn a market stop into a longer morning out.

🚚 Watch for food trucks. Alongside the produce and craft stalls, food trucks are a regular feature — a good option if you want to make a full breakfast or lunch out of the visit.
