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.

Kid's Passport Program

The Kid's Passport program is 8 weeks of activities that are designed to educate and excite kids about the farmers market and the importance of fruits and veggies!  Each week features a different activity and a fun prize, and its free to join!  Kids that complete their passports (8 weeks of activities) will receive a certificate from the Mayor of Renton for all of their hard work.

Taste of Renton

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.

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.
