Join the Living Arts Collective for the Community Dance Wave on Saturday, June 29!

There’s so much happening at the Durham Farmers’ Market right now! Summer produce takes center stage and you can find every color of the rainbow on our farmers’ tables. Swing by and pick up your favorite fruits and veggies and enjoy creating a delicious meal at home. Don’t forget to pick-up local meat for the grill and delicious beverages, baked goods and cheese to fill your tables.

Tomorrow please join our friends from the Living Arts Collective for a Community Dance Wave on the lawn at 9:00 am. The past two months have been so much fun and we cannot wait to bring dancing back to the market! The event is for all ages. Just bring yourself, a reusable water bottle and share in the joy of spending time with your neighbors in Durham’s backyard at Durham Central Park.

Also, we’re celebrating our 20th anniversary with birthday cake next week! Join your favorite vendors and share your market memories with us. We’ll kick-off the festivities on Wednesday, July 3 at 3:00 pm. The party will continue on Saturday, July 6 with a small ceremony honoring our vendors at 7:30 am and cake will be served at 8:00 am. Our vendors and customers make our market community so special and we couldn’t do it without you. We hope you’ll make plans to celebrate this milestone with us!

Kick-off the first weekend of summer with an ADF performance on Saturday, June 22!

We’re excited to kickoff the first official weekend of summer with you and your family! You’ll find your favorite summer produce, including watermelon, sweet corn, tomatoes and much, much more at the market right now. This is such an easy time of the year to purchase all of your groceries at the farmers’ market so bring your shopping bags and stock up on local food.

This week we’re happy to welcome ADF for a BIG DANCE wild ride radio show mash up of summer hits that is a celebration of everything summer. Featuring all-time hits, Martha and the Vandella’s “Dancing in the Street,” Janis Joplin’s “Summertime,” and the quintessential classic “Wipeout!” in a sound score composed by Ken Ray Wilemon. All set to Rock Star Choreographer Mark Dendy’s kinetic, physically explosive and always socially relevant style. The ADF commissioned work will be performed by a young company of 10 dancers handpicked by Dendy for their unique talents. The dancers will receive full scholarships for the summer as part of ADF’s long standing mission to help dancers make the transition into the professional dance world. The show starts at 10:00 am and you don’t want to miss this!
