Many vendors say our market is unique.  Our community embraces market day -- families with children enjoy craft time after school, people rest at picnic tables chatting with friends.  Our market is a hub of activity each Wednesday.  No matter the temperature, you'll see smiles and hear "thank you," and "have a good day!" The market is one of the only places for our diverse and wonderful community to come together as one.  Join us!  Check back here for dates of upcoming events!

Youth Programs

Each summer, we welcome youth to participate in free arts & crafts, games, contests, and more!  Market Interns help provide summer meals, children's games, face painting, and pick up basketball each week at market. 


​Summer meals

During city school's summer vacation, we serve a delicious and nutritious dinner between 4:00pm and 6pm every Wednesday evening.  All youth 18 and under are welcome to the meal.

Summer Employment

We're always looking for great volunteer or paid staff to support our youth programming.  Young adults age 16 and up, please reach out to the market manager for more information. 

**more information to come for the 2022 season**
