Shop (Local) ‘Til You Drop at Oshawa’s Newest Boutique Market

Urban Market Picks is the perfect Sunday date activity for all things local shopping and Instagrammable displays! With vendors upon vendors of local farmers and businesses located in the heart of downtown Oshawa, this is far from your average Farmer’s Market.

Something we’ve all come to learn the importance of lately is supporting local, and the #shoplocal movement is stronger than ever! Although it may not be the most convenient option, Urban Market Picks is your one-stop-shop to get everything from wellness and home products, food and baked goods, apparel, art, and more from locals and creators around you.

“Housed in the former RBC building in Oshawa’s downtown core, URBN MRKT Picks & Social Hall preserves an important piece of community heritage while offering local residents something fresh, innovative and new.”

A list of their vendors is available online; but if you can’t wait to find out what you can expect at Urban Market Picks, keep reading!
