As Easter approaches, St. Catharines is bursting with the colors, scents, and flavors of spring. Whether you’re planning a festive brunch, searching for the perfect Easter bouquet, or looking for ways to celebrate with family and friends, the city offers plenty of local gems to make this season extra special.
Bringing Spring Indoors
Nothing says “spring” quite like fresh flowers. Walking into Adams Flora or VonMar Floral feels like stepping into a garden in full bloom, with delicate pastel petals and fragrant blossoms ready to brighten your home. And if you’re looking for an immersive floral experience, a visit to The Watering Can at their James Street location in St. Catharines or their Vineland location is a must—this shop is known for its breathtaking seasonal arrangements and stunning selection of plants. Whether you’re decorating your Easter table or gifting a loved one, these local florists have you covered.
A Taste of Easter
Easter isn’t complete without something sweet. Imagine biting into a perfectly flaky pastry or a sugar-dusted hot cross bun fresh from the oven. At Sugar and Butter Baking Co., Easter treats are almost too beautiful to eat! Their themed sweets capture the essence of the season, and they’re known for their beautiful and intricately decorated custom sugar cookies. If artisanal bread and pastries are more your style, De La Terre Bakery has just what you need for a cozy Easter brunch. And for those with dietary restrictions, Edible Options ensures that everyone can indulge in festive treats, offering delicious allergy-friendly goodies.
Easter Festivities for All
Of course, Easter isn’t just about flowers and treats—it’s also a time for community and celebration. On April 13, the Port Dalhousie Easter & Spring Market will bring together local vendors, crafts, and seasonal goodies in a charming waterfront setting. Strolling through the market, you’ll find unique handmade gifts, tasty bites, and perhaps even a visit from the Easter Bunny himself.
For families looking for a day of fun, Downtown St. Catharines’ Bunny Trail on April 12 is a can’t-miss event. From 11 AM to 1 PM, little ones can enjoy an egg hunt, scavenger hunt, plant crafts, games, and prizes—all designed to bring joy and excitement to the heart of the city.
