2026 Holiday Merchant Tour

Bruce Peninsula Holiday Merchant Tour

Explore, shop local, and support businesses you pass every day. Free to participate — door prize ballots at each stop (no purchase required).

Why participate?

With holiday gifting on everyone’s mind, Look Locally and participating merchants host this annual tour so it is easier to discover unique products and services right here on the peninsula. Spend a few minutes visiting shops you pass every day — meet the people behind them and support businesses that make the Bruce special.

How the tour works

  1. View participating merchants on the map below.
  2. Plan your own route with friends or family.
  3. Visit merchants during their regular hours and fill out a door prize ballot at each stop.
  4. Each merchant draws and contacts their winner the following week.

Pop-up market (Ferndale)

Friday evening and Saturday daytime — local artisans and makers with handmade gifts, treats, and décor. Door prizes drawn on site. Details and registration are shared each fall on social and via Rural Brand.
