Wenatchee Valley Farmers Markets
You'll find the summer's best bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables, just-picked flowers, fresh from the oven breads and pastries, jams, honey and exquisite, one of-a-kind arts and crafts by local artisans. Often you will find talented musicians adding to the fun and festivities entertaining the crowd with their lively tunes.
The Wenatchee Market was formed in 1978 as a Saturday market, since that time the market has been located in several different areas, finally settling in the Riverfront Park in 1986. It expanded to a Sunday and Wednesday market and soon added a market in the Bavarian village of Leavenworth. Then it added the Thursday afternoon Methow Park market in south Wenatchee, taking on a new look and flair as a Latino-style "Mercado".
With plans in place to re-develop the waterfront in Riverfront Park the Market has been actively working with the City of Wenatchee and other groups to secure a new and more visible location The Market moves to Columbia Street between 1st Street and Palouse for 2008.
