While this year's Father's Day may be a little unconventional, there are still some great ways to celebrate Dad here in Niagara.

Counterpart Brewing

 

Counterpart knows what the people want! With steady flows of can releases, Counterpart has a wide selection of beers available to take home. Whether it's a sour, IPA, stout, or anything in-between, we recommend you stop by and pick up a case (or two) to enjoy.

Spend the Day Exploring

 

If your Dad isn't one for gifts, why not opt for a day outside and just enjoy the company? While we know that social distancing is vital and helping to stop the spread is of utmost importance, it's also important to get outside and enjoy nature to help boost both mental and physical health. Something as simple as a short walk around the neighbourhood, or down any of the many trails throughout Niagara, may make for a Father's Day to remember. 

 

A great way to help support the Niagara community in these times of uncertainty is to help support local businesses by shopping local! Farmer's Markets have slowly started to re-open throughout the region and nothing screams "summer" more than fresh produce and flowers brought to you by some of Niagara's favourite growers, producers and artisans. 

 

St. Catharines Farmer's Market

 

Currently the market is only open on Saturdays from 8am-12pm with several safety measures in place to ensure that both guests and vendors are protected. Some of the newly-introduced requirements include a limit on the number of customers allowed in the market at a given time, regular hand sanitization, face masks, no reusable bags, electronic payments, and social distancing. A new online shopping portal has also been introduced to allow shoppers to select their items ahead of time for pick-up during market hours.

Pelham Farmer's Market

 

Open on Thursdays from 4:30pm to dusk, the Pelham Farmer's Market is slotted to open again on June 11. With online options available for shopping, and enhanced health and safety measures, Pelham Town Square will be home again to some of the best produce available!

Niagara Falls Farmer's Market

 

Plans to open the Niagara Falls Farmer's Market on June 6th include a potential online platform, and strict measures in place due to COVID-19. The 2020 season will hopefully run through until the Fall at the MacBain Community Centre parking lot. Patrons will be encouraged to have one person per household attend, wear facemasks, bring reusable bags, and keep the first hour of market (7-8am) open for seniors and essential workers only.
