The Watertown Farmers Market announced a new closing time and a new layout for the month of October 2024.
See details provided by the City of Watertown below:
CHANGES AFOOT AT THE WFM: 6:00PM close AND new layout
Saltonstall Park renovation is about to begin. In anticipation, we will be modifying our layout starting this week, October 2nd until the end of the season. All vendors that were previously located on the upper park are moved to the plaza, lower park, or the edge of the field. Please review the new layout posted below. As always, you can ask at the Market Manager booth to help locate your favorite vendors.
As a reminder, starting this week and for the remainder of the season, our hours are 2:30-6:00PM. Sunsets are early, and it is getting colder. We want our fabulous vendors to be able to break down at the end of the day in the dwindling twilight instead of complete darkness.
Please read through this newsletter for updates. We thank you for your support as we continue to create a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable shopping experience!
Note: Clear Flour will be out this week and will return Oct 9
