Fall is upon us, and with autumn comes the return of Estrella’s Lakeside Farmers Market. Held the third Saturday of every month, November through April, the market is open from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. The farmer’s market is a great way to enjoy local fare, socialize with neighbors and take in the amazing scenery the community has to offer. This year, the market will be held next to Starpointe Residents Club rather than the Yacht Club.
Merchants from across the Valley will showcase specialty items such as locally grown micro greens, fresh certified organic fruits and vegetables, Alaskan seafood, local honey, fresh breads and pastries, local artwork and so much more. Bring appetites too, as there will be tasty tamales, burgers, hot dogs and other treats to enjoy while shopping. It’s the perfect way to experience the cooler weather and kick off the fall season.
This year, the market will feature a “kid’s zone” complete with face painting, sand art, a different bounce house each month and more! Also, the Kona Ice Truck will be there, along with “Kona” the Penguin, to meet the kids.
One of the market’s most popular vendors, “The Edge” knife sharpener, will be back again this year to sharpen knives, scissors, sheers, chisels and any other tools from around the house that have “lost their edge.”
The Estrella Lakeside Farmers Market is free and open to the public. Visitors can enjoy the sights and sounds of the market and the gorgeous views of the North Lake and the Sierra Estrella Mountains. For more information contact the Information Center at 623-386-1000.
