Good Morning, Haldimand County!

Here's What's Happening in Haldimand County This Weekend 💛

November 14, 2025 • Estimated Reading Time: 19 minutes

Three cheers for another week packed with things to do across Haldimand County. North, south, east, west… pick a direction and you’ll find something pulling you out of the house. Markets, workshops, concerts, fundraisers, trivia nights, community meals… the calendar is stacked, and it is not slowing down for anyone.

What makes it even better is how spread out it all is. Cayuga has its own rhythm, Dunnville is buzzing, Hagersville is keeping pace, and every pocket in between is tossing something fun into the mix. If anyone dares claim there’s nothing to do around here, hand them this newsletter and tell them to take a proper look.

If you needed a sign to shop local, show up for your neighbours, or finally check out that event you’ve been eyeing, this is it. Haldimand is full of action this week, so grab a warm coat and get out there.
