Plus this week The Awakeneers will perform in concert from 1-2:30 outside under the Big Tent!
The Awakeneers offer a genre-bending blend of acoustic positivity that orbits elliptically around the idea of folk music.
Indulge in a variety of goods at the market, including baked delights, gems, crystals, artisan soaps, fresh veggies, natural beauty products, sharpening services, delectable sushi, handmade crafts, imported hats and textiles, hand-carved sculptures, pottery, drums, sea lion rattles, knives from Finland, mammoth, jade and amber pendants, handmade cards, jewelry, and fresh pasta. Join us in supporting our local vendors at this beloved weekly event.

Whatever happens, at least we have each other.
