See you this Saturday at Opening Day!
It was a long winter, and spring has had a hard time springing. But one thing is certain: No matter what the weather is, the award-winning Farmington Farmers Market will open its 33rd market this Saturday with much pomp and circumstance – along with spring veggies, flats of flowers, bakery items and other goodies, handiwork from our skilled artisans and Petey’s Donuts!
Because of this year’s significant event – the 250th anniversary of the country’s Declaration of Independence – we’ll have special programs on July 4 – a market Saturday. But we’ve also added some special guests to help make this a special day:
Color Guard from Groves-Walker American Legion Post 346
Farmington High School Marching Band
Special welcomes from Farmington Mayor Joe LaRussa, OCC Chancellor Rick Provenzano and Jessica Westendorf, director of Farmington’s DDA
The Harmony Town Chorus singing the National Anthem
Big Heads from the Detroit Parade Co.
It all starts at a special time – 8:50 a.m. So set an early alarm, grab your market bags and come to Market!
We are an award-winning market and a trusted source of healthy, local and sustainable produce. We offer a vibrant marketplace with music and special programs that create a nourishing community connection. We are open rain or shine – or snow – from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, May 2 through November 7, at the Sundquist Pavilion, 33113 Grand River Ave. in downtown Farmington.
