The Opening Day for the 10th anniversary of the Denton Community Market will be held on April 6 at Denton County Historical Park, 317 West Mulberry St.
Denton Community Market is a producer-only farmer’s market and art market in downtown Denton featuring live music, kids’ activities, local farms, local artists, food trucks, food vendors and more. It will be operating from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. during regular hours, and 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. during the summer every Saturday from April 6 through Nov. 30, according to a news release.
“We have a variety of arts, crafts and makers with items including jewelry, décor, clothing, accessories, fine arts, bath and body products and more,” said Rachel Weaver, market vendor coordinator. “We also have shaded seating areas for guests to enjoy food and live music.”
The Market is also pet-friendly with pet products as well as water bowls and splash tubs for dogs. The market promotes local businesses and enriches the culture of Denton by creating a sense of place. All farmers are DCM-certified as local, producer-only and using sustainable farming practices.
