Market Square has been home to a variety of special events, and is available to rent. 

The St. Catharines landmark, known for its open-concept design, glass walls, skylights and towering ceilings is prominently located in the downtown core with plenty of on-site parking. Market Square offers 7,600-square-feet of event space ideally suited for events of 600 or less with additional outdoor space available for bigger festival activations.

Market Square is also home to the St. Catharines Farmers Market three days a week — operating on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday — which does impact its availability for private rental on market days.
