 Pet Policy:

We love your pets, too, but they are not allowed under our covered shelter because we have food we are sampling and selling.  Service dogs are the exception.  Please be aware that during our summer months it does get hot and it’s not safe to leave your dogs inside your car.


Restrooms:

There are two restrooms available in the market for your convenience.


Parking:

On street parking is available on the Backstreet and on side streets near the market in designated parking spots.  In addition, parking is available on the grassy area immediately above our market.  We ask that you use caution when parking on the grassy area.  Watch for vendors and market customers!  (Special events may limit the parking availability on the grass.)  In addition, you may park in the lot at the First Baptist Church.  The spots immediately in front of our sheltered area are reserved for our vendors.
