Walker's Point Farmers Market
The Walker's Point Farmers Market launched June 1 and has joined a vibrant array of food and beverage options available in the Walker’s Point neighborhood.
Held at Zócalo Food Park (636 S. Sixth St.) each Thursday from 5–8 p.m., the Walker’s Point Farmers Market fills a void in farmers markets in the neighborhood. Previous farmers markets such as the Walker’s Square Market took place at Walker’s Square Park, 1031 S. Ninth St. Core El Centro, a nonprofit dedicated to offering affordable holistic healing and wellness services in English and Spanish, previously held a farmers market at the Clock Shadow Creamery building on Second and Bruce streets.
The Walker’s Point Farmers Market runs through October 19. The market was created to increase residents’ access to farmers, makers and healers, as well as to offer opportunities to regional farmers to sell their produce, meat, eggs, artisan foods and artwork in an open-air market at a popular, well-visited space.
