Music Garden Sunday: Live Cuban Music & Waterfront Dancing 🎵💃🏽💃🏿

St. Jacobs Farmers' Market — Waterloo Region

This is your sign to slow down — and move gently while you’re at it. We’ll start the morning at the iconic St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market, soaking in the Amish/Mennonite summer atmosphere: fresh bread, local produce, handmade goods, and unhurried wandering. Once we’ve eaten (and maybe emotionally bonded with baked goods), we’ll head out for a scenic riverside hike nearby to let the day unfold naturally. Simple. Grounding. Nourishing — for body and brain. 🧭 The Plan Part 1: Market (10:00 – 11:00 AM) Explore the market at an easy pace Coffee, snacks, browsing, chatting Free time to shop or just wander Part 2: Hike (11:15 AM – 1:30 PM) Short drive to trail access Mill Race Trail / Grand River area Distance: ~5–6 km Terrain: flat, scenic, beginner-friendly Pace: relaxed, social (no one left behind)
