One main cultural site in Guelph is 'Market Square.' Market Square is a modern view of the original City's downtown 'Market Place district'. The attractive new Market Square is used for having festivals, concerts, community events and civic celebrations. The downtown location of Market Square makes it a great place for shopping, sitting, relaxing, and gathering with friends.
The thought of designing Market Square started in 2007 when the City agreed to make a truly special community meeting place in front of the City Hall building. Market Square is in front of City Hall and across from shops and restaurants on Carden Street to Wilson Street and Wyndham Street.
The central attribute is an outdoor skating rink and water feature with stone benches shaded by trees and plants. The lighting decorating Market Square allows it to be enjoyed at night.
