Renton Farmers Market Celebrates its 12th Season
Tuesdays, 3:00 to 7:00 pm; June 4 through September 24
RENTON, WA - Shop to your heart’s content at the Renton Farmers Market! The Piazza will come alive
with farm fresh produce and flowers, as well as baked goods, seafood, meat, eggs, honey, dairy and
more. With 60 vendors each week, everyone is sure to find something. The “Taste of Renton” will
feature one local restaurant dishing up samples from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. every Tuesday through
September. The ever-popular Kids’ Patch returns with fun projects for the little ones and we will once
again have live entertainment. Bring all your questions for the Master Gardeners who will be on hand
each week to help you through the growing season.
Renton Mayor Denis Law will officially ring the bell at the Renton Farmers Market on Tuesday, June 4,
at 3:00 p.m. to kick off the market season in Renton.
“We are excited to be celebrating another great season of the downtown Farmers Market.” said
Renton Mayor Denis Law. “We couldn’t support this successful program without the generosity of
private contributors, volunteers and vendors who make the farmers market in Renton so spectacular.”
New Farmers Market Coordinator, Carrie Olson, comes to the City of Renton from Enumclaw where
she created the Enumclaw Chocolate Festival and assisted with the King County Fair.
“I have always loved visiting local farmers markets and I am excited to have the opportunity to work in
Renton,” said Olson.
Free parking is available for two-hours in the City Center Garage. The Renton Farmers Market is
sponsored by the City of Renton with generous help from volunteers at the Piazza Renton.
