Every Saturday, rain or shine the outdoor area of the municipal parking lot at Pine Street and Second Street will be abuzz with vendors and buyers.

This year, the market will house its regular vendors and is looking forward to a large number of new vendors.

Every year you'll see people biking, walking or driving to the official opening. Everyone loves to get there early to enjoy a traditional pancake breakfast and listen to live music. Opening day is one of those days when you must arrive early to get "the best of the best" the market has to offer.
