This Week's Event
Harvest Celebration! Join us as we celebrate the bountiful fall harvest this Saturday, September 29th, from 8am to 1pm at our annual Harvest Celebration Market!
Each year the International Herb Association chooses a Herb of the Year and this year’s featured herb is Hops! In celebration we’re excited to announce that Carp’s very own Brewery, Ridge Rock Brewing Co, that is slated to open this fall, will be joining us for a special sampling tent! Also, Richmond’s own Ottawa Valley Hops will be here featuring their 6 varieties of Hops grown on their farm.
In light of last week’s tornado, we will be collecting both monetary and non-perishable food items for the West Carleton Food Access Centre as our community and neighbours in Dunrobin deal with the aftermath of the storm. You can drop off your donations at our Hostess Info Cart located outside near the food court.

Dunrobin & Ottawa-Gatineau Tornado Victims
We’d like to send out our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by the tornado that occurred Friday, September 21st. To our neighbours, friends, vendors and customers in Dunrobin, and Ottawa-Gatineau, we are thinking of you as you recover from the aftermath of this horrific storm. Dunrobin is a close neighbour to Carp, and if we know one thing about small communities it’s that they are filled with kind, caring and generous people. Our hearts are with you all. We will be collecting donations for the victims at our Hostess Info Cart this Saturday, September 29th, from 8am to 1pm.
