Davis Farmer's Market

Davis Farmer's Market is an institution- you'd be hard-pressed to find a resident who hasn't been at least once. It was voted one of the 3 most favorite American farmer's markets. Some people say it's too crowded but I really like it. Because it's so popular, it's likely you'll see folks you know.

On the average Saturday they have a balloon artist, and a face painter. On special occasions they have shows: On Cesar Chavez Day, a mariachi band was performing; on "Pig Day", a magician was entertaining the kids. It is located in Central Park so the kids can play on one of two playgrounds and occasionally, the small carousel is open. We buy lunch from one of the vendors, let Big Sis choose between facepainting or balloons, and spend some time on the playground. Overall, an enjoyable Saturday morning but for cheap, local produce we'll likely head to the farmer's markets in Woodland or Winters when they open for the season.
