Centennial Lakes Farmers Market is a harmonious blend of nature and commerce.
The Centennial Lakes Farmers Market gracefully unfolds every Thursday on select dates during the twilight hours. Its stalls are artfully curated along a picturesque waterside vista that stretches out from either side of the Hughes Pavilion.
The market is known for growing in size with each passing week and features an array of fresh produce, fruits, herbs, flowers and meat sourced from local growers. There are also artisanal and cottage foods, such as flavored olive oil and unique types of ice cream. Edina Liquor hosts a beer and wine garden.
Families seeking a fun evening can rent paddle boats or play mini golf at the park. The market also hosts monthly free activities for kids. And for the young ones who find it difficult to wait while their parents are browsing, there are always at least 20 pokémon to catch on Pokémon Go.
Centennial Lakes Farmers Market; 3–7 p.m. Thursdays through September 28. Free kids activities August 3 and September 7. 7499 France Ave. S.
