In addition to the City Market held each Saturday in Downtown Charlottesville, the Parks and Recreation Department also holds an event every Wednesday. The season kicks off tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. but there’s a temporary change of venue.
“This year, the market will be held at Pen Park by the Meadow Creek Golf Course while Meade Park completes its turf restoration,” said Justin McKenzie, the manager of the City Market.
Market stalls are open to producers only and include farmers, food vendors, and artisans. Attendees are encouraged to sample some of the amenities at Pen Park, including the batting cage, a gold driving range, the tennis courts, and the playground.
