Central Park Farmers Market

The market will be in Central Park through June but starting in July, the market will be in Kiwanis Park. After National Tom Sawyer Days, there will be a major construction project in Central Park to renovate the bandstand, sidewalks and other features.

The market is open 7:30 a.m. to noon every Saturday through Oct. 25; starting in mid-June, the market will be open Tuesday evenings 3-7 p.m. Yoga in the Park will be at 9 a.m.

This is the fourth year that several of the vendors are eligible to take SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits for payment, through a program with Douglass Community Services.
