a market makeover

The Ocala Downtown Market can only be described as our very own melting pot where artists, farmers and craftspeople come together under one roof to sell their latest creations and wares. For anyone whose weekends are just too hectic for a trip downtown, the market is now also open on Wednesdays from 3-7pm in addition to the regular 9am-2pm Saturday hours. You can also visit the newly designed website at ocaladowntownmarket.com for the latest news and details. Here, you can preview a list of vendors and the dates they will be at the market. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s to come: Check out Into the Wild Jewelry on Feb. 11 or the Lotus Asian & Natural Food Market on Feb. 25. The website also keeps you up to date on upcoming events and seminars. Previous events have included a chef demonstration featuring Chef Randal White.
