The Tampa Downtown Market will return this Fall on a new day.
Now residents can enjoy the market – which takes places on the 600 & 700 block of Franklin Street – every Sunday from 10am – 3pm.
This will make the market available to Tampa residents who couldn’t enjoy the market during it previous time on Fridays.
The market kicks off the October 14th and will run every Sunday through May.
What is for sale?
Locally grown and/or produced fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, honey, eggs and milk. Bouquets of roses and sunflowers. Fresh baked breads, bagels and pastas. Homemade soaps, potpourri and folk art. And jewelry, silver and hand cut t-shirts are just a few of the items you will find for sale amidst the dozen or so product vendors at this local downtown market.
And you will find more than just raw materials under the market’s tents. A half a dozen lunch vendors will be on hand serving up ready to eat lunches that include French, Greek and Italian specialties, homemade pierogis, pies and crab cakes, and other organic and delicious dishes and desserts.
And Tampa’s Downtown Market is more than a shopping and eating excursion – it’s entertaining. Throughout the season, the Tampa Downtown Markets hosts a variety of events that include live music performances and cooking demonstrations among other free entertainment productions.
