Every Saturday, the market features regional farmers, food, and artisan vendors who bring a diverse selection of local produce as well as sprouts, breads, nuts, baked goods, and delicious prepared food.

This is a time to explore the art and food of our global community. This session’s theme is “Rainbow Gardens: from Cali to Southeast Asia.” Children and their parents are welcome to see an art exhibit connecting California urban farmers to the food of Southeast Asia.

Writers of any level of experience are invited to join our writing group to practice writing short pieces across many genres and sharing their writing with others.

Teens will try to recreate these buildings using LEGOs. For ages 12 -18.

Celebrating food can promote healthy eating habits and highlight the importance of wellness within the community. Chef Cheryl Tate reminds us that preparing and enjoying traditional dishes is a way to honor our resilience.
