May 16 Arroyo Grande Farmers' Market |
As the roosters roam and crow around the Arroyo Grande City Hall building, you really get the feeling of country at this downtown market. Artists are selling their wares by the creek-side and musicians fill the air with music.
The setting couldn’t be a more enticing venue to stroll through Farmers’ Market and stock up for the week with the freshest and most abundant produce around. It’s located right at the footbridge in old downtown Arroyo Grande, giving this country market a small urban-like feel.
Every Saturday from 12:00 noon to 2:30 p.m., come sample the Farm Fresh Produce & Flowers, Art Show and Live Entertainment in the Parking Lot at 215 East Branch Street. We offer a veritable symphony of freshly grown fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants. The market also features quality items from local artists. All artists are participating members of the distinguished El Camino Art Association.
