Join the Cary Downtown Farmers Market at its NEW LOCATION at the parking lot of The Perfect Piece each Saturday (200 E. Chatham Street). Find a wonderful winter lineup of vendors offering all locally made and locally grown items. Shop for freshly harvested produce, humanely raised meat, and artisan-made goods. Stop by the info booth to learn about their matching program for SNAP/EBT. Children can also get their very own Farmers Market Passport and participate in the Eat-A-Rainbow program, which encourages children to eat healthy, nutritious foods. Parking for the new location can be found at the Public Parking Lot behind the Methodist Church (off Walker St. and Waldo St.). Learn more about their new location, nutrition programs, and general info on their website or visit the market's Facebook and Instagram pages for weekly information.

Children can enjoy a variety of craft stations and a visit with the white bearded guy from the North Pole! While at Santa's Workshop, you can support the Cary Teen Council's food drive by sending each child with two non-perishable food items or a cash donation for admission. All proceeds will be donated to charity. There will be a 20-minute break at 11:30 a.m. so Santa can feed his reindeer.  For more information, visit Heart of the Holidays or call (919) 460-4965.
