🌿 Farmers in the Park has a new layout at Pen Park!

Starting this Wednesday, you'll find the market across the parking lot on the east side of Pen Park. Our new layout features more shade from mature trees, wider walkways, and additional space for customers to relax, enjoy their purchases, and connect with the community. The move also gives us room to expand future programming with live music and special events.

⚠️ Please note: Due to the Heat Advisory, Wind Down Wednesday has been canceled this week. Farmers in the Park will still be open from 3:00–7:00 PM with all your favorite local vendors.

If you're joining us, remember to drink plenty of water, take advantage of the shaded areas throughout the market, wear sun protection, and look out for one another in the summer heat.

We can't wait to welcome you to our new market layout and another great Wednesday at Pen Park! ☀️🌽🥕

Happy National Small Business Week!

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities—driving innovation, creating local jobs, and keeping our towns vibrant and unique.

When you shop at Farmers in the Park or Charlottesville City Market, you’re doing more than picking up fresh produce. You’re supporting the families, growers, makers, and entrepreneurs who keep our local economy strong. Every purchase truly makes a difference.

This week (and every week!), we celebrate the hardworking small business owners who bring their passion and craft to our market. Thank you for choosing local and helping our community thrive!

Shop small. Shop local. Support your neighbors.
