Fort Erie farmers' markets: closing weekend, printed honestly
Two real series, both ending October 10-11, 2026 -- and one documented gap.
Fort Erie's farmers' markets: two real series at closing weekend, one documented gap
Fort Erie has two operator-run farmers' market series, one in each BIA village, and at this build both are at their FINAL weekend of 2026 -- the most time-sensitive page in this guide. A third, in Stevensville, is a documented gap, printed as one. Everything below is the operators' and the regional tourism office's published record, with conflicts flagged and never merged.
Series one: the Ridgeway Farmers' Market, run by the Ridgeway BIA at Village Square, 282 Ridge Road North in Ridgeway: Saturday mornings, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., in a season that ran from May 9, 2026 to its FINAL day on Saturday October 10, 2026 -- closing weekend at this build, so the market is carried in closing-season framing everywhere in this guide, with its return re-checked on the operator's own site in spring 2027. No producer or vendor count is printed for 2026
The two series, and the gap
Crystal Beach Farmers' Market (the Sunday Market)
the Crystal Beach Farmers' Market, also called the Sunday Market, run by the Crystal Beach BIA at The Grove, 4055 Erie Road in Crystal Beach: a Sunday market in a season that ran from May 17, 2026 to its FINAL day on Sunday October 11, 2026, Thanksgiving Sunday, ending at 2 p.m. Its start time is never asserted in this guide -- published sources conflict on the morning hour, so only the day, the season and the 2 p.m. close, on which sources agree, are printed The market shares its closing Sunday with Safari Niagara's last day of the season across town -- plan the weekend whole, on the itineraries page.
The Crystal Beach 5K morning
Closing weekend opens on foot: the Crystal Beach 5K runs Saturday October 10, 2026 from 4020 Erie Road in Crystal Beach -- the kids' 1K fun run at 10:15 a.m. and the 5K at 11 a.m., on the organizer's own site, with registration through its published platform. Its edition numbering varies across surfaces, so no edition number is printed here. The Ridgeway market's final Saturday runs the same morning across town -- the weekend is built to do both.
Stevensville: the documented gap
Stevensville's market is documented, never staged as a verified series in this guide: no operator surface for a Stevensville market was reached in this town's research -- a regional listing alone publishes a Wednesday window at Stevensville Memorial Hall that ended October 7, 2026, and a directory-grade listing is not a series. It is recorded here so the gap is honest, and it re-checks if an operator surface appears

How to use this page after October 11
After closing weekend, this page's honest state is closed-season: both series are done for 2026, their return is a spring 2027 re-check on the BIAs' own surfaces, and no winter market is asserted for either village. The one winter-season market-shaped anchor the town's calendar has carried is the Christmas craft class -- the Ridgeway LionessLions Christmas Magic Craft Show at Crystal Ridge and the Fort Erie Optimists' Christmas craft market -- whose 2026 dates were not yet published on the surfaces read, so none is printed or derived. When the BIAs publish 2027, this page updates from their surfaces, window first, hours as they state them.
