Celebrate

This free one-day community event will provide opportunity for children/families to interact with Grimsby’s emergency services and their vehicles. They will showcase their big machines, demonstrations and fun activities for kids.  

The market was established in response to a growing demand by the residents of Grimsby to enjoy the freshness of “home grown” products from the Niagara Region. Set up as a “Home Grown” Market, our vendors grow their own product and take the time to answer all the questions of the shoppers at the market.

The 13 For 13 Cultural Festival will see each of Niagara’s 13 municipalities host a festival that will rotate nightly during the 2022 Canada Games, changing from one municipality to another. Visitors of the festival will be afforded the opportunity to experience the cultures of each province and territory, while also travelling across Canada without leaving Niagara — something that will hopefully inspire many to explore this great nation. Grimsby will host on Saturday August 20, 2022.

The Town of Grimsby's Celebration of Lights is an annual event that recognizes Grimsby residents for the hard work and holiday spirit put into their lights display at their home or business.  

The Grimsby Santa Claus Parade is one of the longest running events in Grimsby. The parade was once a morning event, but in the year 2000 the parade was moved to an evening event to celebrate the millennium. It was such a success that it has remained an evening event ever since. Each year the parade consists of approximately 90 entries which includes community floats, walking groups, marching bands and various entertainment. The Grimsby Santa Claus Parade is the perfect kickoff to your holiday celebrations - don't' miss it.

The goal of the Heritage Art Challenge is to inspire Grimsby residents to embrace, enjoy and explore local heritage. Participants are encouraged to learn about a Grimsby person, place or event that is new to you or part of your own history connection to our town. A wealth of local news, anecdotes and images can be found in newspaper archives from the past 100 years; these have been digitized and are easily accessible through the Library’s website.
