10th Annual BIA Bridge Street Bazaar in Carleton Place
August 1 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
The 10th Annual Bridge Street Bazaar will showcase the center of this colourful and historical town, including a sidewalk shop with over a hundred vendors. Visitors can Meet Us “Downtown” On the Mississippi, have the opportunity to shop, enjoy some great local entertainment and eat at waterfront pubs and restaurants.
The entire downtown section of Bridge Street will be shut off to vehicular traffic, making way for a pedestrian-friendly area where both vendors and merchants alike can display and sell their products. The full-day schedule of the sidewalk sale includes various activities and attractions – including some of Carleton Place’s finest musicians, mascots and dancers.
This family fun event offers something for even our youngest visitors – petting zoo, pony rides, face painting and balloon animals are among the many activates that will delight the young and young at heart. The sound of pop, rock and country will fill the air as spectators enjoy a full day of live local entertainment. Entertainment in the downtown market full of variety, and best of all, free of charge!
With community groups, restaurants and arts programs all coming together for the day, visitors will truly be able to immerse themselves in the culture of Carleton Place, discovering all that our great town has to offer. When the BIA works together with the Carleton Place community, great events are born that work to unify the people and develop a community’s attraction and overall spirit.
What’s NEW this year? Final details are being ironed out for an exciting addition to the annual event so stay tuned to the website for updates.

Our Mission
Just picked snow peas from the market
By fostering engagement and relationship among market goers and local environmentally responsible food producers, the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market increases access to and awareness of local and seasonal food. Here we will consciously offer fresh food options that are as healthy for the people who eat them as for the ground in which they are grown.
Our hope is to create a unique experience in our downtown area for all who shop here.

History
The Carleton Place Farmers’ Market opened its doors in 1991 with a couple of farmers. Since then and after many different locations the farmers’ market is proud to call Market Square its new home. The market is also proud that it still has one of its founders still selling at this year’s market.
Partners
What would we be without our community partners? The Carleton Place Farmers Market continues to successfully join forces with the Carleton Place and District Chamber of Commerce, the BIA and the Town of Carleton Place to provide special events and local activities that promote our community and bring awareness to the importance of “buying local.”

Celebrate the Pan Am Games Torch Relay going through Carleton Place
Bridge Street Store-Front Decorating Contest
Attention Bridge Street Businesses/Organizations:
For those of you who may not yet know, Carleton Place was chosen as one of the 130 communities that the Pan Am Games Torch Relay will be travelling through on its way from Mexico to Toronto this summer. On Thursday, July 2nd the Pan Am Games Torch Run will be travelling through Carleton Place at approximately 11:00 a.m.
This is an incredible opportunity for Carleton Place and we want to spread the word to get our residents excited about this potentially once in a lifetime event. We are encouraging businesses owners to get involved and decorate your store-front, with the Pan Am Games theme and/or Canadian theme to send well wishes to our Canadian Athletes who will be competing in Toronto in July and August. This is particularly fitting timing as we will be celebrating Canada Day at Riverside Park on July 1st, so it is a perfect fit to decorate with Canada themed decorations.
As an incentive, every store-front decorated will be entered into a draw to win a Pan Am Games Prize Pack that will include souvenirs from the festivities in Toronto, as well as a recognition plaque for your support.
We hope that you will join us in celebrating this wonderful event that will bring hundreds of residents to our Bridge Street Core on Thursday July 2nd, 2015.

BIA Lambs Down Park Festival
BIA Lambs Down Park Festival
Celebrate Father’s Day Weekend at the BIA Lambs Down Park Festival
in Carleton Place on Saturday June 20th from 10am to 3pm.
This is a non-gated event and is FREE to enter the grounds, demonstrations are FREE to view and food and merchandise vendors will be on site offering items for sale.
The Carleton Place (BIA) isn’t sheepish about letting people know that Carleton Place is the largest distribution centre for lamb’s wool in Canada!
In fact, the Canadian Co-operative Woolgrowers, located at 142 Franktown Road, grades and markets close to three million pounds of raw wool each year. In celebration of the town’s woolly existence, the BIA and the Woolgrowers are joining forces on Saturday, June 20th to host the BIA Lambs Down Park Festival. The BIA is working with the Wool Growers in an effort to bring awareness to the public about the tremendous heritage attraction we have in Carleton Place, the festival will run from 10 am until 3 pm on the Wool Growers property.
With wool being the fiber on which the festival is centered, the day will feature hands-on demonstrations of sheep herding involving working sheep dogs, sheep shearing and the spinning of wool. As well, in keeping with the festival theme, tours will be conducted of the Woolgrowers facilities. The Lambs Down Park Festival will be an opportunity for us to showcase some of the dynamics of Canada’s sheep and wool industry.
Other aspects of Carleton Place’s rich heritage will be on display at the festival. For instance, since the Woolgrowers occupy what was originally the round house and machine shops for the Canadian Pacific Railway, one display will track Carleton Place’s railway past.
There will be local fresh produce, petting zoo and pony rides, kids activities and more. Spectators can relax at a picnic table enjoy a bite to eat and a drink from great local vendors.
You will find unique demonstrators and displays with all kinds of interactive activities for the young and old to participate.
The BIA has created the Lambs Down Park Festival in an effort to bring friends, and family, of all ages together so that we can share in the heritage of the community. The BIA has had great success with family events and is inviting everyone to come out and enjoy the displays, lunch and entertainment.
Further details on the festival can be obtained by contacting the BIA at 613-257-8049 or by e-mail at cmcormond@carletonplace.ca.
