Farmers' Market Moves to Carnegie

The Livermore Farmers’ Market kicks off its 10th anniversary season on May 15 at Carnegie Park in downtown Livermore.

The market will be open at the park through Oct. 16 from 4 to 8 p.m. each Thursday. The third Thursday of each month is designated “Thirsty Thursday,” with wine tasting offered by the Livermore Valley Winegrowers Association.

The first Thursday of each month, from June to August, is “Family Night,” with activities for kids. Live music is part of the market every week featuring performances by local musicians.

Each week, the market features farm fresh seasonal produce. Opening day shoppers will find asparagus, fresh mixed salad greens, mushrooms, strawberries, early peaches and olive oil. As the season progresses, other items such as heirloom tomatoes, corn and squash will arrive at the market. In addition to produce, shoppers will find artisan breads, fresh pasta, seafood and more. Local restaurants, Riata’s Diner and Tavern, Meyer’s Barbecue, and Brittany Crepes will be selling food.

This year the Livermore market has been a year-round event. Through the winter the market operated on Sundays at the Valley center Parking Garage. The summer market is located at Carnegie Park, 3rd and J Streets.

The Livermore Farmers Market is a partnership between the Pacific Coast Farmers’ Market Association and Livermore Downtown Inc.
