Please join us tomorrow, Tuesday, June 4, at the Piazza Park in downtown Renton as
Mayor Law officially rings the opening bell at 3 p.m. to kick off the 18th season of
the Renton Farmers Market.
The market will be filled with fresh flowers and a bounty of farm fresh produce this
and every Tuesday from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m., June 4 through September 24 in the
beautiful Piazza Park, located in Downtown Renton at the corner of South 3rd Street
and Burnett Avenue South. 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 will be closed between Piazza Park and Gateway
Park, making it that much easier to cross the street to get to our food trucks,
children's activities, special events, and live music from buskers at Market West!
And we are proud to continue our Fresh Bucks incentive program, which offers
unlimited dollar -for -dollar match to be used on fresh produce for our SNAP
shoppers.
The city is gathering community input for an important update to the Parks,
Recreation and Natural Areas plan. Stop by the Pavilion at Piazza Park when you visit
the opening day of the Farmers Market on June 4 from 3-7 p.m. to share your input
about goals, priorities, and what you value when you use parks and natural areas or
participate in recreation activities in Renton. Spanish and Vietnamese interpretation
will be available. Visit rentonparksplan.com to learn more about the plan update.
