Weekly Capitol Mall Farmers Market Set To Return On June 16

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Downtown Sacramento's farmers market is coming back.

Organizers say the market is scheduled for Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. starting June 16 at 6th Street and Capitol Mall.

More than 25 vendors are expected to be out at the market, and organizers hope for more.

A new program is also being offered at the market which will offer local chefs priority pick-up.

Measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 will still be in place, organizers say, including limiting the number of people per stall, wider market aisles, and temporarily suspending food sampling. Masks or face coverings are still expected to be worn.
