The Washington Borough Farmers Market kicks off the same day as the Washington Business Improvement District’s Sustainably Green Music & Arts Fest on June 18, but that’s only the start of a farm market season that promises to be fun all summer long and into early fall.

In addition to lots of vendors offering fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, herbs and plenty of other goodies and products, visitors can enjoy weekly themes including music, kids’ activities, and more, as well as days devoted to health and wellness, pets, veterans and farmer appreciation.  Specialty days include Christmas in July with Santa and Mrs. Claus (July 23), Mini Kids Fest (Aug. 6), Beach Day (Aug. 13), and the first annual Potato Fest (Sept. 10). The “season” ends with a “Pumpkin Round-Up” on Oct. 1.

Also new this year is the first Flower Power Day, scheduled for July 30, featuring sunflowers from Von Thun Farms and plants and flowers from The Rooted Lion, as well as other vendor flower offerings. 

Among the musical performers scheduled this year are Maribyrd on June 25, George Marinich (July 9) and Kate & Paul (July 30). 

The Farmers Market is held in the center of Downtown Washington every Saturday by Veterans Park, formerly known as the Pocket Park, through Oct. 1, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
