The Danbury Farmers' Market is back on the Danbury CityCenter Green, Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. through October 28th. Not only will we be featuring the best local produce, eggs, honey, jams, plants, flowers, and bread. But we are hosting lots of new vendors this year including seafood, coffee, brewery, artisans/craft, musical entertainment and much much more!
Don’t forget to use your coupon for complimentary 2-hour parking available at the Patriot Garage (21 Delay St.), right across the street from the market.
This year, to celebrate our Opening Day, Mayor Dean Esposito will ring the opening bell at 10:15 a.m. along with Congresswoman Jahanna Hayes, State Senator Julie Kushner, State Representative Bob Godfrey and a representative from the Fairfield Country’s Community Foundation.
Enjoy live music performance by Cobalt Blue Band, along with a special Family Fun Zone brought to you by Macaroni KID Greater Danbury with crafts, lawn games and balloon twisting (11am – 1pm). Music performances are sponsored by Union Savings Bank of Danbury. The veggie hunt for kids is back - with bubbles as the prize!
CityCenter Managing Director, Lazaro Chavez, says – “I look forward to our farmers market every year; when else can you truly get farm to table food at your own home, all while listening to fun music and enjoying great energy at our CityCenter Green!!! What better way to strengthen your community than to shop and eat locally. By visiting the Danbury Farmers’ Market, you’ll support our local farmers, businesses, and community members! This is a great weekend event that will go on all year for everyone of all ages to enjoy. So, if you miss out on one, you’ll have many more to attend afterwards.”
Throughout the season there will be a variety of food/good eating workshops with a $15 market money incentive and lots of other programs. Sign up on our website for our weekly email blasts for notices.
