The Forest Grove Farmers Market begins for the season Wednesday, May 1 in downtown Forest Grove on Main Street from 4 to 8 p.m.
Every Wednesday from 4 to 8 p.m., the farmers market, run by the nonprofit Adelante Mujeres will be held on Main Street, which is closed to vehicle traffic and usually packed with local visitors, families, and traditionally, a lot of dogs.
Throughout the season, the market draws a number of local crafters, information booths, small businesses and farm stands, including Gales Creek and and Banks-area farms and businesses.
Opening day will see at least one local farm set up as a vendor: Greenville Farms, located in the historic Greenville community just outside of the city of Banks.
A full list of vendors and a map can be found online.
