| Downtown Brampton, the historic centre and heart of the community, is uniquely different from anywhere else in the city. The commercial hub of the city since 1853, the downtown combines historic homes, within walking distance of business, culture, entertainment, recreation and dining.
Downtown Brampton boasts a great number of exciting events, bringing thousands of visitors to the downtown annually. The Santa Claus parade alone draws close to 100,000 people! The popular ‘Shakespeare in the Square’ series is an evening of classic entertainment under the stars. The festival atmosphere of the seasonal outdoor farmers’ market provides an opportunity to buy direct from the local farmer or to purchase a distinctive craft or piece of art. Visit Beaux-Arts Brampton, a non-profit artists cooperative which includes a gallery and artists’ studios. The Peel Heritage Complex offers ongoing visual art and museum exhibits that change throughout the year! |
