WILLIAMSBURG-As part of its 20th Anniversary celebrations in 2022, the Williamsburg Farmers Market will hold an exhibition and public reception honoring its vendors.
Board members of the Williamsburg Farmers Market invite members of the community to a reception on Thursday, January 6, beginning at 4:30pm at the Stryker Center, 412 N. Boundary St. The event will include wine, soft drinks, and hors d’oeuvres as well as displays of artwork poster contest entries in honor of the 20th Anniversary and photographs of market vendors through the years. Following the reception, the photo exhibition will be open Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm through Thursday, February 3.
The seasonal farmers market, which typically operates Saturday mornings from March through December on Duke of Gloucester Street in downtown Williamsburg, first began in 2002. Since then, the Williamsburg Farmers Market has grown into one of the most popular farmers markets in the area. The open-air market features a variety of products including seasonal produce, herbs, plants, flowers, eggs, meats, fish, cheeses, baked goods and breads, prepared foods, homemade goods, and other items.
Williamsburg Farmers Market, which closed for its current season on December 18, will hold a special Valentine’s Day holiday market on Saturday, February 12, before returning for its regular weekly markets on Saturday, March 19.
While closed for the season, the market will be accepting pre-orders online for weekly drive-by pickup in the parking lot of Quarterpath Recreation Center, 202 Quarterpath Rd., beginning January 12.
