Every Week at the Market
Kid's Patch
Not a babysitting service, but a chance for parents and kids to interact in fun activities each week! Held from 3:00–7:00.
Master Gardeners
Have a plant or gardening question or problem? Visit the Master Gardeners at the Renton Farmers Market from 3:00–6:00 every week. They are available to help you: manage your gardens and landscapes in a science-based, sustainable manner; address environmental and social priorities such as water conservation and water quality protection; reduce the impact of invasive species; and, increase public awareness of healthy living through gardening.
The Master Gardners will hold their Garden Hotline on September 12.
Wine & Beer Tasting
We will have wine and/or beer tasting for the entire season. Tasting booths will be in the main market this year.
KCLS Library2Go!
The King County Library System's Library2Go! van will bring library materials to the market on August 22, August 29, September 19 and September 26.
