The evening market featured hot cider, hot chestnuts & live music.

The first time, night time Farmers market was staged at Junction Plaza Park in West Seattle on Dec. 22. Back to back Sunday holidays with Christmas and New Years made trying this special event a good way for people to stock up on last-minute farm fresh goodies. The normal Sunday farmer market will not be open those two days.
Among the items for sale were winter squashes, potatoes and other root veggies, winter greens and other winter produce, fresh cut flowers, sweet treats, and some of the finest meats, cheeses and fish available. There was live music, hot cider and genuine chestnuts – actually roasting on an open fire.
After Dec 22, the growers will take a break and and then be back for the regular market every Sunday starting January 8, 2012.
