The Santa Cruz Downtown Farmers Market is expanding its hours, and the market celebrates Wednesday April 20, 2011 with a party for Earth Day.
Starting April 20, the downtown farmers market will now open at 1:30pm each Wednesday instead of 2:30pm, so you have an extra hour to get your farm-fresh produce and/or buy a meal from one of the many vendors selling ready-to-eat food and drinks (see ready-to-eat and farm vendor list). Choices include Indian and Mexican food, and rotisserie chicken. These expanded hours will last until Thanksgiving week. Between Thanksgiving and the week after Daylight Savings Time, hours will be shortened to 1:30-5:30pm (closing one hour earlier than usual).
The annual Earth Day celebration offers music, activities for both adults and kids, and speakers plus booths from groups like Slow Food Santa Cruz, Ecology Action, and The Clean Ocean Project. Speakers include author and activist John Robbins and Councilwoman Lynn Robinson.
