After much discussion the Gates Farmer's Market team has decided to cancel today’s Dog Days of Summer Market. It may not downpour until after the market but we don’t want our vendors to travel and set up only to have to take everything down in a storm ☔️

Thank you everyone for your patience as we waited to see what the weather looked like closer to the event.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the August 16th Back to School Market.
