It may feel more like sunburn season than sleigh bell season, but that’s not stopping the Joe Obbie Farmers’ Market from celebrating Christmas in July this weekend. And despite the sizzling summer temps, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be making a special off-season appearance.
The jolly duo will be arriving by fire truck at the market at 10 a.m. this Saturday, July 26. They’ll visit with children until noon, and most certainly will be wandering through the market to check out the great local fruits, veggies, sauces, crafts, flowers and more. (Mrs. Claus might even take some treats back to the North Pole for the reindeer.) There’ll be candy canes for the kids and free Christmas in July pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus. So bring the whole family — and don’t forget to bring your wish lists.
The Joe Obbie Farmers’ Market is located at Webster Towne Center Plaza on Holt Rd. (in front of Old Navy). It’s open every Saturday through October from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine.
If you’d like to be reminded of other special events scheduled at the market, stay on top of the latest news at the Joe Obbie Farmer’s Market website and Facebook page.
And don’t forget that the very popular Evening in the Park Market has returned to Charles Sexton Park (formerly known as North Ponds). Every Wednesday evening through Aug. 28, the market will be set up at the park from 5 to 8 p.m. In addition to the vendors, these events will also have live music and food trucks, so remember to pack your folding chairs!
