Spread the Love During National Farmers Market Week!

Friday August 9, 2024

We can’t think of a better way to close out National Farmers Market week, which runs August 4-10, than with a visit to FRESHFARM MVT Market this Saturday! Shop a variety of fresh and local produce, meat, eggs, and bread vendors along with prepared foods on offer from our weekly vendors and be sure to stop by the tents of Cocoi’s Sweets and Pastries,  Keswick Creamery & Thik and Juicy which will be popping-up this weekend!

Plus, Chinese Street Market will be at market this weekend to celebrate the Chinese holiday Qixi, also known as Double Seventh Festival or Chinese Valentine’s Day! The festival is celebrated annually on the seventh night of the seventh month and harkens back to the story of “The Cowherd and The Weaver Girl” about star-crossed lovers Zhinü and Niulang. Stop by the Chinese Street Market booth this Saturday to peruse its selection of authentic Chinese foods and pick up a hand-written calligraphy bookmark that you can give to your own valentine or loved one, or even your favorite local farmer!

Market is open from 9am-1pm every Saturday – rain or shine – at the corner of 5th & I Streets NW. Look forward to seeing you there!
