Come out and enjoy the farmers market and Summer Concert as August comes to a close and we transition into fall operating hours. Beginning next week on Sept 1st, market operating hours will be moved up to 3:30-7:30pm to adjust to earlier sun down. Additionally, Summer Concerts will take place 30 min earlier from 5:30-7pm.

The BEST NEWS is that we have added ONE MORE MARKET DATE on Thurs, Sept 15th due to the cancelled July 28th market. This is a great opportunity to stock up on fall produce, grab gifts from artisan vendors ahead of the holiday season, and enjoy tasty eats and treats from our food vendors!

Also, we are excited to announce that Si View's Park playground next to the picnic shelter is OPEN for families to enjoy while at the park! Thanks for your continued patience while improvements have been made to replace the wood chips with a pour-in place rubberized surface for better fall protection and durability.
