market fast facts
You MUST have an appointment to shop in the market.
Appointments can only be booked through the link below. Appointments cannot be booked in person.
Since the market is only open Tuesday-Thursday, the calendar will only show availability for Tuesday-Thursday. All other days will be grayed out.
The calendar is updated each day and shows all appointments available for the next 30 days.
If you select a day and see “No available times this day,” then you will need to go to the next available date or check back for any cancellations.
