The market is a great way to kickstart your summer weekend. You can shop there from 8:00 a.m. till noon. It takes place on Market street in between the intersections of North street and Liberty street. Since it is right in the center of downtown, there is plenty of parking, so there’s no worry of not finding a spot; or potentially having to parallel park if you learned a not so fun lesson on maneuverability instead. Though most people have heard of a farmer’s market, not many young adults or teens have attended one, but that doesn’t mean that kids wouldn’t have fun. There is a feeling of exploration and experiencing new things. 

Farmer’s markets are typically thought of as only selling fruits and vegetables, but the Wooster market actually has much more to offer. There was a collection of flowers, baked treats, bread, and even tea bags. And if that doesn’t quite satisfy your need for trying new things, a large number of shops open early for the farmer’s market; including beverage shops. So if you’re planning on attending the market, taking a quick walk off of Liberty Street could get you a delicious coffee to start your morning, or to cool you down later in the day. 

Along with their various products that you can buy, the market even offers live music. The musician or musicians are located under the pavilion, and they are all incredibly talented, which offers a rather unique experience that you wouldn’t usually expect at a market. The pavilion is shady and cool with plenty of seating, and it is a great way to cool off from the summer heat and rest your feet for a moment. 

The market also allows you to explore downtown in a more calm and relaxed atmosphere in comparison to Saturday nights. With minimal crowds in the early mornings, the market can be a great way to check out what shops in Wooster have to offer without being in a fast paced and loud environment. The markets also make supporting local businesses more convenient, you don’t have to try to find where the shops are located because the market allows for a vast majority of them to be contained in the same space.

It is a fun summertime activity that can be a blast for the whole family. Overall the market is a great experience, and is a great way to hang out with friends, or have some alone time while shopping. No matter who it’s with, with so much to do, see, and hear, you’re sure to have a good time.
