Final Farmers Market in Birmingham is Sunday

Sunday marks the end of the 11th season for the Birmingham Farmers Market



The end of the Birmingham Farmers Market season is here, and more than 70 local vendors are expected to be out to help make the End-of-Season Celebration starting at 9 a.m. Sunday.

Highlights of activities include:
  • Hayrides
  • A kids pumpkin craft table
  • Pumpkin carving demostrations all day
  • Trick-or-treating for children, who are encouraged to be in costume
  • Live music

Laurie Tennent, of Birmingham's Laurie Tennent Studio, will take poloroids of costumed children for a small fee to benefit charity, and visitors can enter to win tickets to Elf-The Musical at the Detroit Opera House in December. Look for the entry box at the information tent all day long.

"We've enjoyed a very successful 11th season," said Lori Rondello, spokeswoman for Birmingham's Principal Shopping District. "Our market continues to maintain excellent farmers and unique specialty vendors with prepared foods and drinks, hand-crafted items."

Rondello also said a new attendance record was set when more than 4,600 people visited the annual Corn Festival on Aug. 11.
  
The Farmers Market ran from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. every Sunday since the summer in the municipal parking lot on North Old Woodward Avenue. For more information, visit birminghamfarmersmarket.org.
