The farmers market in Carlsbad Village recently got a new life as the "State Street Farmers Market."
The new market, which runs Wednesdays from 3-7 p.,m., is in the heart of Carlsbad Village on State Street between Carlsbad Village Drive and Grand Avenue. The new hours allow the after-work crowd to experience the flavors and energy of the market. The former Saturday market is now closed.
With more than 50 vendors, the market offers something for everyone, including fresh organic produce, locally prepared foods, unique artwork, and live music.
The first three markets were extremely well attended, with residents and tourists alike flocking to the new setup. Many of the businesses on State Street have also benefitted from the increased foot traffic in front of their shops and restaurants.
Nearly 500 reusable market bags were given away in the first three weeks of the market. Patrons who ride their bikes can pick up a "Bike Buck" (one dollar redeemable as cash with any of the vendors) at the info table at State and Grand.
The Carlsbad Village Association operates the market, and its relocation was a part of the Village's revitalization effort, led by Urban Place Consulting Group. More information can be found on the web at www.statestreetmarket.com.
