  Admission is $5 at the gate, children 5-and-under are free! This helps us cover the cost of heat lamps to keep this outdoor event cozy, which means we can keep our vendor fees low—making this market accessible to smaller and up-and-coming vendors—and helps support our community programming and mission to empower people to grow and eat healthy, organic, local food. Whether as a shopper or a vendor, we hope you’ll join us under the twinkly lights to support small, local businesses and celebrate community. We are currently seeking volunteers to join us for this cheer-filled event! We are looking for support in a variety of roles in order to keep the event running smoothly."
