The Riverdale Backyard Market is Back!

September 29, 2025

The backyard market that was a big hit last year is returning to Cornwall on Saturday, October 4, 2025. Organizer Allison St Louis is bringing the Riverdale Backyard Market back for a third season, with even more local vendors to explore.

“This wonderful little market was actually started by my neighbour Tracey Chaussi as a way for a handful of our neighbourhood makers to get together to spend a fun fall afternoon together. We’ve now outgrown her backyard space and are moving to the park so more people can enjoy it with us,” said Ms. St Louis. “We have so much local talent, it’s great to be able to feature some of them right in our own ‘backyard’.”

This is your chance to shop exclusive event-only sales and specials from this highly curated list of local makers:

Birch Haus
Jolie Bracelets
Lawrence Ave Jewelry
Leather Lane
Popolo Designs
Raspberry Creek Primitives
Saisons

It’s a fantastic way to get a head start on holiday shopping while supporting local entrepreneurs and finding that perfect unique item!
