The Mercer Island Farmers Market opened for its 2018 season on June 3, bringing Islanders together for the 11th year.
The main market season will run on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., June 3 to Oct. 7. It is located at the intersection of Southeast 32nd Street and 77th Avenue Southeast (on the north end of Mercerdale Park).
Throughout the season there will be free live music, kid’s activities and produce tastings. Craft and artisan vendors, including Coco Beza, Healy Originals and Semilla Designs, will participate in June and at the Harvest Market in November.
