The Milton Farmers' Market in downtown on Main Street operates on Saturdays, mid-May to late October.

Hiking on the parklands of the Niagara Escarpment and the Bruce Trail is a popular recreational activity. Other opportunities include horseback riding, kayaking, sailboarding, skiing and swimming.
