Our Story

Everyone's FavoriteWeekend Gathering

A celebration of local talent, fresh food, and the community spirit that makes the market so special.

Where it all Comes Together

Manotick South Market was born from a simple idea: give the talented makers, growers, and artisans of our community a beautiful place to share their work — and give neighbours a reason to slow down, connect, and shop local every weekend.

Perfectly centered between Manotick, Kars, and Osgoode at 2730 River Road, our market runs every Saturday and Sunday from Mother's Day through Thanksgiving. Rain or shine, you'll find dozens of vendors offering everything from hand-thrown pottery and original paintings to fresh-baked sourdough and locally grown vegetables.

The market is free to attend, welcoming to families and leashed pets, and focused on quality over quantity. Every vendor is reviewed before joining, so you can trust that what you find here is genuinely local and genuinely made with care.

What We Stand For

Four principles guide every decision we make about the market.

Community First

We exist to bring Manotick neighbours together — shoppers, makers, and growers sharing one vibrant space every weekend.

Local & Handmade

Every vendor at Manotick South Market is a local artisan, farmer, or small-batch producer. No mass-produced goods, ever.

Curated Quality

We review every vendor application to ensure a diverse, high-quality mix that keeps shoppers coming back week after week.

Welcoming to All

Families, dogs on leashes, strollers, and first-timers — everyone is welcome. The market is free to attend and open to the whole community.

What You'll Find

Every market day brings a fresh mix of local talent across four main categories.

Handmade jewellery, ceramics, textiles, candles, and more.

Fresh Produce

Seasonal vegetables, herbs, honey, and farm-fresh eggs.

Baked Goods
