In addition to all the flowers and farm fresh produce, we have an abundance of activities planned especially for kids.

Chef Maryam from Tastefully Balanced joins us for a cooking demonstration at 4:30 p.m. At 5:30 p.m., KCLS presents live entertainment from Elephant Umbrella. During market hours, we welcome members of the Washington Dairy Council, including their mascot Buttercup!

Each week, in addition to market fare, shoppers will enjoy live music, tips from Master Gardeners, cooking demonstrations, and children’s activities. New this season, Logan Avenue South closes between Piazza and Gateway Parks, making that crossing much safer to get to food trucks, children’s activities, special events, and live music from buskers at Market West!
