Blog – Austin Farmers’ Market

Saturday, April 17th  9 am – 1 pm

Join the crowd at either Sunset Valley or Downtown (and later in the week at Wednesday’s Triangle Market) for lots of interactive exhibits, farmers’ product tastings, live music, kid’s activities (Wed) and more to help give honor to our Mother Earth. Tons of free parking at Toney Burger Center.

At the SFC Farmers’ Market at Sunset Valley, the entire market will be on solar power with a trailer from Austin Energy. Live music from Stephen Kearley and tastings at the “Taste the Place” booth. Check out the more than 50 vendors too,  including lots and lots of farmers and ranchers who deal with Earth everyday.

Downtown at Republic Square Park there will be exhibitors for ecologically sound products and local foods, green companies. Live music on the deck around the Auction Oak, an interactive Eco-Series panel on food / farm policy, the Be Groovy/Be Green booth and just a great place to hang out are the activities at that location. Lots of hot, specialty foods made from farm products too!

For parking in the garage, please state to the attendant that, “I’m here for the farmers’ market.” and proceed in at no charge (limited to 200 spaces). You will need to park in the upper decks of the State Parking Garage, or, you can park in the LAZ parking lot, on the NORTH HALF of the parking lot.

Come see more than 30 farmers, and food vendors, and more than 50 additional booths that are friendly to the earth. Live music all afternoon long, kid’s activities, tastings, and more.
