The Kitchener Farmer’s Market is the oldest in Canada. Rise early to enjoy some of the Farmers Markets that our area has to offer, then explore the German roots of the K-W area at Joseph Schneider Haus, home of the first Mennonite family to settle here. Discover life as it was in 1914 at Doon Heritage Crossroads, or discover the Victorian charm of Mackenzie King’s childhood home, preserved at Woodside National Historic site.

Experience the arts at Homer Watson House and Gallery, the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery, and the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery.

Enjoy a round of golf at one of our manicured public courses or have a picnic and a stroll in one of our many parks along the Grand River.

Canoeing, fly-fishing, cycling and hiking are just a few ways to enjoy the great outdoors. Play in one of our water parks; see it all from a hot air balloon or from an area festival.
