Summer Living in the Village

Ahhh, it’s the month of June with one season winding down and another blazing in like hot sun on pavement. It’s an exciting time with warmer temps fueling energy bursts. We encourage you to funnel that energy to take advantage of the fun things happening in Waterdown Village this month. 

Reset Your Saturday Morning Routines

Start with a visit to the Waterdown Farmers’ Market. Your favourite local market is back for its ‘lucky 13th’ season. The market takes place every Saturday morning from 8 AM to 1 PM in the front parking lot of the Royal Canadian Legion at 79 Hamilton Street North from now until mid-October. This season’s roster of vendors is strong with more than 30 weekly purveyors and more than 40 different growers, small batch producers, artisans and local businesses in total who will make an appearance as the season unfolds. Look for your favourite or discover a new gem. Linger over coffee or a prepared meal while taking in the sights, sounds and activities at the Market. Great vibes to set the tone for your whole weekend.

Try Something New

Summer is the perfect time to build new routines that honour your health and fitness. That’s why Waterdown Village is bringing TryDays – Free Fitness in the Park classes – back to Memorial Park on Tuesday evenings from June 16 to August 25. Have you always wanted to try a new activity but were nervous about making a commitment without a trial run? Thanks to the participation of several health and fitness Waterdown Village leaders, you’ll have the chance to do just that. Learn how to improve your core, stretch out the sticky spots, breath to relieve stress, build strength and endurance. Each week it’s a different class, from pilates to strength training to hip hop and boot camp style classes. Learn as you sweat. Many exercise classes will be followed by a health and wellness add-on like physio- or chiropractic tips to align your fitness and overall wellness goals. Find more details and class schedule here.

Make Dad’s Day

<p”>Show dad some love this month and make his day extra special. You can find unique and personal Father’s Day gifts in our small, one-of-a-kind boutique shops.  Or load him up with tools and the gadgets you know he’s always wanted from Weeks Home Hardware or Turkstra Lumber. Maybe a gift card for a local barber for some man pampering is more what he needs. Or gift him a curated collection of craft beverages. So many options to celebrate the father figure in your life, right here in your own backyard.

Park Yourself in a Patio

Patio season is back… but it’s short. Make sure you take full advantage of the many great opportunities to eat alfresco or sip a pint under the patio lanterns. Waterdown Village is rich with beautiful bloom-decked, sun-spattered and comfy spots to enjoy a meal outside. Summer menus are aces and some local patios feature live music to help you rock the seasonal mood. Give our local spots a follow to ensure you don’t miss a thing.

The summer season is gonna be gone before you know it. Let’s soak up every precious minute of it right here, in Waterdown Village.
