Be sure to stock up on all your needs for the winter and our vendors have lots of ideas for your holiday gift shopping. Remember we offer of 2 hours free validated parking for shoppers. There have been empty parking spaces all day on both North and South lots.  Just show your purchases at the market info booth.

The Farmers Market Board would like to thank all the volunteers, sponsors, vendors, patrons and the ever present City & Marina staff for all their help this past season. We hope everyone enjoys the holidays.  Please review below all the upcoming community events thru the end of the year and participate if you can.
