  • Bring weather-appropriate layers because the market is described as an open-air collection of vendor booths.
  • Allow time to browse the vendor lineup, which includes shops offering books, apparel, handcrafted goods, art, and specialty food products.
  • For a longer evening visit, Friday and Saturday hours run until 10 p.m.; Wednesday and Thursday hours run until 8 p.m.
