A Girls’ Day Out You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you are looking for the perfect excuse to grab your girlfriends and plan a spring day out, the For The Girls Market might just be it.
Taking place on Saturday, April 18, 2026, this one-day market transforms Horseshoe Valley Resort into a vibrant, feel-good shopping experience designed entirely with women in mind. Running from 9 AM to 5 PM, it’s an easy add-on to a weekend getaway or a standalone day trip worth the drive.
From a visitor perspective, what makes this market special isn’t just the shopping, it’s the atmosphere. Set inside the Fairway Room in the Main Chalet, the space fills with energy, connection, and that unmistakable buzz of discovering something new. Whether you are browsing solo or with friends, there is a sense that this is more than a market it is a curated experience.
Expect a thoughtfully selected mix of female-led brands and makers offering everything from fashion and beauty to wellness, jewellery, home décor, and lifestyle goods. It is the kind of place where you will find pieces you will not see anywhere else; handmade, local, and often with a story behind them. Perfect for picking up a gift… or five.
One of the best parts? Admission is completely free, making it an accessible and low-pressure way to spend the day. You can pop in for an hour or stay all afternoon, taking your time to wander, shop, and soak it all in.
A key part of the experience is the opportunity to enjoy lunch at Crazy Horse Restaurant, located right on-site at the resort. Guests can take a break from shopping and settle in for a relaxed dining experience featuring a curated menu designed for the event.
Set just over an hour from Toronto and minutes from Barrie, Horseshoe Valley Resort offers that ideal mix of nature and experience rolling hills, fresh air, and a built-in sense of escape the moment you arrive.
Whether you are planning a girls’ weekend or just craving a day that feels a little different, the For The Girls Market is one of those simple, joy-filled experiences that reminds you how good it feels to slow down, shop local, and spend time together.
