Join the fun at the Washington Borough Business Improvement District’s Farmers’ Market Kick-Off on Saturday June 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This year’s Farmers’ Market kickoff “doubles up” with the WBID’s annual Arts, Crafts & Music Festival (which was postponed from an earlier date due to COVID-19). The fun event will stretch from the Pocket Park and along E. Washington Avenue in Downtown Washington (Route 57) giving visitors plenty of room to walk about.

Kick off the growing season and get your farm fresh produce at the Farmers’ Market, which during the season is open every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. through September 19. The Arts, Crafts & Music Festival, moved from its original date of May 9, will feature an array of styles and genres of original artwork, with prizes awarded in several categories. Plenty of local eateries stand ready to tantalize your taste buds. Enjoy a free, fun family-friendly day in downtown Washington! Rain or shine.
