Get Your Bags Ready — Benicia Farmer’s Market Season Opener This Thursday!

IMG_0060One of the true rites of spring in Benicia is opening day of the Farmer’s Market. It’s a vivid reminder that summer is just around the corner.

And opening day is just a few days away. The season begins this Thursday (Apr. 29).

Over the years, the Benicia Farmer’s Market has become a wonderfully popular Thursday night gathering place.

It wasn’t too many years ago, that you could usually find a parking place within a block of the market.

In recent years, however, that’s all changed. Now you have to get there early or be prepared to walk a few extra blocks. But nobody’s complaining!

The market really seems to have taken hold as a civic institution, as people come downtown, buy their fruits and veggies and then stay downtown for dinner.

They say absence makes the heart grow fond. Well after six month’s of waiting, that’s definitely the case for the Benicia Farmer’s Market.

The market is organized by Benicia’s always-energetic Main Street Program and runs Thursday evenings from late April through the end of October.  The market opens at 4 pm and closes at 8 pm.

I’ll be there ready to fill my canvas bags with some of the season’s first crop.

Can’t wait!
