Every Easter weekend, parents in Kitchener-Waterloo go through the same thing. You want to do something actually fun, not just hand the kids a plastic basket and call it a morning. You want to get outside, feel like spring is finally here, and maybe grab a coffee while the kids lose their minds over chocolate.
This Saturday, April 4th, St. Jacobs Farmers' Market is making that really easy.
Here Is the Thing Most People Won't Know Walking In
Some of the participating vendors around the market are hiding Easter candy behind special egg signs. No announcement, no lineup. Just the people paying attention walking away with extra treats. Tell your kids before you go in. They will love having a mission.
What's Happening at the Farmyard
The Easter Egg Hunt runs out of the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market Farmyard at 878 Weber St N in Woolwich. Hunt times are at 9am, 10am, and 11am. Pick your slot, show up, and let the kids loose.
The Easter Bunny Is There In Person
Yes, an actual Easter Bunny. Photos, hellos, the whole thing. If you have a toddler who has been asking about the Easter Bunny for three weeks straight, this is your answer.
Why St. Jacobs Makes This One Worth the Drive
If you have never taken your kids to St. Jacobs Farmers' Market on a Saturday morning, Easter weekend is a good reason to finally do it. The market has been running since 1975 and it is one of those places that still feels like something, not just another event in a parking lot.
Fresh food, local vendors, real Mennonite baking, and enough to explore that you will end up staying longer than you planned. Add an egg hunt and a bunny visit and you have a full morning without coordinating three different stops across the region.
