The Exchange is a 10,000 square foot indoor/outdoor multipurpose event space created to foster and incubate the city's food, music, arts and culture communities. The Exchange is the new home of the Niagara Falls Farmers Market and also features artist and woodworking studios, an art gallery, and an on-site cafe (opening soon).
