Drop-off and Parking
The circle in front of the Fred Thomas Building will be open to handicap drop-off and pick-up. If you are able, please bike or walk to the market, as parking is limited. We remind you that we will be at George H.P. Smith Park this Saturday unless it rains, and we have to move the market to Shields Elementary School Parking lot.
There is some parking at the parking lot at Smith Park, and in the lot in back of the Fred Thomas Building. But it is best to either walk or bike to the market. Lewes School, its parking lot, and its playing fields are still fenced off due to construction. The Market thanks Beebe Hospital for allowing customers to also park in the outdoor Beebe lot in back of the Hospital. Customers can enter that parking area through the main entrance to the Hospital between Rite Aid and the Hospital. The Park has an entrance from the Beebe lot. It is closer to get to the Market if customers go right on the path at the park after entering. There is a Google map of the Beebe Hospital parking lot and the Park on the HLFM website (historiclewesfarmersmarket.org) that shows how to get from the Beebe parking lot to the one entrance to the Market.
