Where Literacy Meets Local Flavor
The Summer Reading Market is more than a farmers market—it’s a celebration of community, healthy living, and the joy of reading. Hosted under the SOKY Pavilion during the warmer months, the market brings together local growers, makers, and library programming in one lively, family-friendly space.
From the first Saturday in June through August 1 (minus July 4), folks can shop fresh produce, discovered local goods, and enjoy pop-up storytimes, free activities, and special events designed to keep all ages reading and thriving all summer long. Market hours: 8 a.m. to 12 noon.
We look forward to seeing you there in 2026!
