This August Enjoy the Outdoors with Open-Air Markets and Movies

This summer, the Pickering Museum Village makes it easy to spend time as a family and to put healthful, wholesome food on your table -- while supporting local agriculture, and doing your part for the environment. Skip the grocery store and cinema, come to Farm Fresh Flicks!

Running every Wednesday night in August, Farm Fresh Flicks combines a farmers market with an under-the-stars family movie night. Beginning at 4:30 pm, you’re invited to the museum village for a Farmers Market in the parking lot, offering goods from local farms and producers. The market will run until 8:00 pm. Pickering Museum Village volunteers will lead the children in games, then everyone can settle in to watch a family film. On August 6 we’ll be showing The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep; on August 13 FernGully: The Last Rainforest; on August 20 Night at the Museum; and on August 27 Tom and Huck.

If you are a grower or producer or craftsperson, you are welcome to call 905.683.8401 to reserve space at the market. The space is free. Baked goods and produce may be sold from your vehicle, or you can bring a table to display your wares. Check cityofpickering.com/museum for updates and vendors.

Pickering Museum Village is located on Hwy #7, 3 km east of Brock Road, just 10 quick clicks from downtown Pickering. Look for our big bell tower sign on the south side of the highway. For more information contact the museum village at 905.683.8401 or visit cityofpickering.com/museum.
