 Parking & Construction Update

Parking is still available in the remaining north lot, with additional parking near the Quarterdeck and in the south parking lot. A free shuttle runs continuously from the south lot throughout market hours, and our volunteers, signage, and traffic guides are here to help make your visit easy.

 Thank you for supporting your local nonprofit farmers market. We look forward to seeing you every Saturday!
