The Woodland Park Farmers' Market is a family friendly event, open to everybody. The market remains neutral in all matters political, social and religious. Please help us keep the market a friendly place for all who wish to visit.
Each vendor is required to bring their own weights, as the market tends to get windy towards the end of the day. You are not allowed to stake your tent to the ground so make sure you bring weights.
