Visitors to Welland’s Market Square on Wednesdays, from 4 to 8 p.m. (weather permitting), beginning September 14, can now enjoy an array of food trucks and a movie.

With seating available onsite, the supper market offers the option to pick up and go or stick around and enjoy the atmosphere. Some of the most popular food trucks in the area offering a wide variety of food options will be onsite, including:

• Bacon Crazy
• Smoke and Moonshine
• The Runaway Greek
• 905 Hotdog Pound
• Cool Licks Ice Cream and food truck

“Bringing local food trucks to market square is just one more opportunity for the community to get out and enjoy what the city has to offer,” said Rob Axiak, director of community services. “This year, we’ll do a bit of a test run into the fall, hoping we are up and running every Wednesday next summer starting the May long weekend. The movie at the market is an ideal location for such an event, and, when considering dinner and movie, what better place to bring the family.”

The movie portion of the event begins at dusk (approximately 7 p.m.). Previously, the City hosted movie nights at Civic Square on the outdoor LED screen but will now host movies at the market on an inflatable screen, offering greater access and ease of viewing. In addition, Shriner’s Creek kettle popcorn will be handed out to kids to enjoy with the movie.

This year’s supper market and movies are expected to run until Thanksgiving, with expanded operations in 2023. Movies will not run every Wednesday; however, when offered, they will coincide with the supper market.

Market Square is located at 70 Young Street, and parking is free.
