Discover Cremona: Market, Museum and Events

Cremona combines a seasonal Sunday market with a museum whose collection includes photos and artifacts from pioneering families. There are also two events with clearly specified dates: Cremona Days on Canada Day and the Cremona Show and Shine on the first Saturday in September. When planning your stay, you can start by asking yourself whether you’d rather experience the market day, the collection or one of the event dates.

Farmers Market: a regular Sunday time slot

Cremona’s Farmers Market runs seasonally from May 17 to October 11, 2026. It takes place on Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with 22 market dates in total. For a visit, the day of the week is just as important as the dates: the first market day is May 17, and the last scheduled market day is October 11. The five-hour time slot gives you a specific point of reference when planning your stay around the market.

Discover the Cremona Museum

The Cremona Museum is located in the basement of the Gold and Silver Club. Its collection includes photos and artifacts donated by pioneering families. Both images and objects are central to the collection, and the donations connect it directly with the families identified as pioneers of Cremona. Those interested in culture and local history will find a different focus here than at the events.

Events with different focuses

Cremona Days takes place on Canada Day at the grounds and at the Community Hall. The program includes a pancake breakfast. The holiday provides a specific calendar date for the event, and the breakfast is one of its featured activities. If you’d like to visit Cremona for the event, you can use Canada Day as a reference point when planning your trip.

The vehicles at the Cremona Show and Shine offer a very different experience: historic and classic vehicles are on display. The event takes place on the first Saturday in September. While the Farmers Market is scheduled on Sundays over a seasonal period, the Show and Shine is centered on a single Saturday. The events therefore differ not only in what they offer, but also in their timing. Which one shapes your stay depends on whether you include the market, the vehicle show or Cremona Days in your plans.

Help choosing when to stay

Cremona is located on Highway 22. This is a specific geographic reference point to consider when planning a stay in town. The other events described offer different reasons to choose Cremona as a travel destination: the seasonal Farmers Market, the museum collection or one of the two events. Their dates and activities can help you choose a travel period based on your personal interests.
