Street Sale & Vendor Marketplace

Every year at the Dundas Cactus Festival, our local businesses take to the street to display their products and services during the Festival weekend. Dundas is a well-known shopping destination, and it’s a great opportunity to discover all the great shops in our downtown core.
In addition, we welcome a large variety of product and food vendors, community and service groups. Want to learn more about what’s going on in Dundas and the surrounding communities? Visiting the Vendor Marketplace on King Street is a great place to start!
Hungry while walking at the Festival? There’s something for everyone from ethnic specialities to fair favourites.
