    Description

    Woodinville Farmers Market

    Hello,

    We need your help at The Woodinville Farmers Market!

    It is with a lot of volunteer support that markets are able to happen. If you are able to offer just 2.5 hours or are interested in a full day, one time or a more consistent commitment, we would love to hear from you. Every little bit helps.

    We are looking forward to an exciting year filled with many returning and new vendors, a weekly kids program, and other fun entertainment. Our summer market is held in the Schoolhouse District in Downtown Woodinville every Saturday, 10am-2pm from May-September, rain or shine. We appreciate all of the time that our volunteers donate to help our community thrive. We couldn't do it without you, THANK YOU.
