If you haven't made it to the market yet, what are you waiting for? Saturdays at the market have been slow this summer, and we'd really love to see our community come out and support these local vendors. Without great vendors AND great customers, the market doesn't happen.

If you love having access to a bunch of great local vendors each week in June and July, be sure to swing by the market bright and early Saturday morning to show your support!

Old Jail Farmers Market
Saturdays in July
7-11 AM
234 East Fulton St.-Canton
