Downtown Saturday Farmer's Market
This year-round, Saturday morning market is a potpourri of fresh produce, food, flowers and plants, fine artisanship, friends and fun. It has become a community happening – a gathering place for people to bring families, friends, and even dogs to peruse the displays of garden-fresh produce and unique craft products. The market is held every Saturday from 7am until noon and is located on Lemon Avenue, from First Street through to Pineapple Avenue. Customers can park at the State Street Parking Lot or on the 2nd and 3rd levels of the Whole Foods parking garage, and in a number of other spots close by.
