Marion Square hosts our Farmer's Market every Saturday from April- November and Saturdays and Sundays in December. Its a mix of local artists, farmers and food trucks set up right in the heart of down town. We love to start with coffee or fresh squeezed lemonade to carry while we peruse and then end with lunch or a yummy dessert. There's something for everyone.
