Shop for local produce, eggs, cheese, beef and chicken, bread, soap, honey, kombucha and more — and then pick up dinner from Flying Cow Pizza, Yang’s Thai Food, Smoke on Wheels BBQ, Lefty’s Chicago-Style Dogs, or Grandma’s Goodies’ sliders. Borrow a blanket and stretch out on the hill or set up at our café tables, and enjoy reggae, world and ska music from King Solomon, who will play from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
