Waterfront Farmers Market| May 22nd – Aug 28th | Every Thursday 1-6pm
The Waterfront farmers market is really a great event every week. Grab some produce, grab some local homemade items or grab dinner and go sit at Skansie park to enjoy the evening. I am so glad out town hosts a farmers market for everyone to enjoy.
"Our Mission: Under the guidance of the Gig Harbor Downtown Waterfront Alliance, The Waterfront Farmers Market strives to provide access for all citizens to fresh, local, sustainable food and food products in an atmosphere that promotes community and economic vitality while supporting our region’s farmers and producers."
