Georgetown's Farmers’ Market and Fall Fair Early Saturday mornings, beginning in June, Georgetown’s downtown Main Street comes alive with the sights and smells of the Farmers’ Market from 8am to 12:30pm. Meet your friends and chat over a coffee, or introduce your kids to the farmers who grow the foods you eat! Stroll through our beautiful, historic streets and visit some of the shops and services that you’re too busy to enjoy during the week. You’ll have fun connecting with your community and you’ll feel great knowing that your local grower has harvested the foods you’re feeding your family. Not only is it a healthy choice, but you are supporting your local farmers, too! The Fall Fair was started in 1846. It is held the Friday to Sunday following the Labour Day Weekend. The annual event is held at the Georgetown Fairgrounds and comprised mainly of carnival rides and rural contests, such as the tractor pull and demolition derby. |

Georgetown Georgetown is located on the banks of the Credit River approximately 45 kilometres from Toronto. The first settler to the Georgetown area was George Kennedy, a United Empire Loyalist who came to Georgetown in 1823. George, the youngest brother, built a mill on Silver Creek in Hungry Hollow, between Guelph Street (Highway 7) and Main Street, and Georgetown gradually grew around it. The river provided abundant water supply and mills soon sprang up along the Credit River. The 1840’s saw a new influx of settlers and soon a leather and shoe business and a papermaking business were flourishing. The Grand Trunk Railroad through Georgetown in the mid 1800’s confirmed Georgetown would be the centre of commerce and industry in the north Halton area. By 1960 Georgetown had reached a population of 10,000 and a year later the community had its own hospital. On January 1, 1974 Georgetown was absorbed into the new regional town of Halton Hills. Today’s population is approximately 55,000.
