There is a new farmers market group that will be on the railroad block starting May 25th! They already have 50 vendors signed up for it and its year-round! I love that it is on Saturdays too. and that it goes to 1 pm. I always want to do that kind of fun shopping on Saturday for dinner that night, rather than Sunday. My understanding is that they will ring the turntable so it should be fun. I have always had high hopes for a market down there and I think this will be great. I believe its the same group that has been doing the market at Fountains and also at Sunrise Mall, so I know they have a good assortment of vendors. Yahoo!!!!

I hope there's really fresh produce. The last market we went to in the Fresh/Easy parking lot had maybe 3 or 4 produce vendors and then a bunch of booth selling trinkets and such. Hard to get the fresh produce around here unless you do the delivery stuff.

A friend just asked me if this means the Sunrise FM is moving to Folsom. Or will they maintain both locations?

I don't know. I am pretty sure they are closing the light rail market down on sunrise blvd, but I don't know about the market at the mall. I also heard the market by whole foods won't start back up this year.

I'm just happy it's going to be so big! Can't wait!

Two and a half weeks until the market starts and it is confirmed!! 

They are planning a big farmer's market banner to hang on the side of the parking structure behind the vendors this year.  It's going to look great.
