The Carson City Farmers Market returns to the capital city Saturday, June 8 at its new home in Mills Park. Each year, the market continues to grow, and this year is no exception with 11 new vendors added to the roster.
“As we gear up for this year’s market season, we’re thrilled to showcase an impressive roster of 67 vendors each week, blending returning favorites with fresh faces,” said Market Manager Breana Coons. Among our cherished regulars, we are excited to welcome 11 new vendors, each bringing something unique to our community.”
These include Happy Mushrooms, Isla Kusina, No City Coffee, Park Ranch meats, La Tapatia Ice Cream, Nevada Custom Engraving, the Wayfarer specialty cheeses, Three Horse Flower Farm, Sugar Pie, and more.
“We are also introducing several new local musicians who bring a vibrant layer of entertainment to the market atmosphere,” Coons said.
This will be the second year that the market will be in Mills Park, and Coons said community feedback from the move has been “overwhelmingly positive.”
“Visitors appreciated the spacious pavilion, which provided a refreshing retreat from the sun under its ample shade. Additionally, the scenic walks through the park added a unique charm to their market experience, setting it apart from any other venue in the area," she said.
Parking remains a logistical challenge due to the high turnout, Coons said, but luckily the park offers 250 spots throughout.
“Although this means some visitors might face a brief walk, it's a small concession for the pleasure of spending a day at such a scenic and lively market," she said.
The market returns from June 8 to September 28 between 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
“This year's market transcends the ordinary shopping experience; it's a vibrant community hub where you can deeply connect with the origins of your food,” Coons said. “Meet the dedicated artisans who craft each item, the bakers who rise before dawn to ensure the freshest products, and the farmers who toil to bring their freshest produce directly to your table. We invite everyone to explore the diverse offerings that make our market a uniquely enriching place. Join us in celebrating local craftsmanship, fresh produce, and the spirit of community.”
