Fairlington Farmers Market
Fairlington Community Center — 3308 S. Stafford Street
Nestled on the back patio of the Fairlington Community Center, the Fairlington Farmers Market returns for its 9th season with fresh, local produce, grass-fed meats, seafood, eggs, cheese, coffee, pastries and breads, salads, and delicious ready to eat or heat prepared foods, including vegan and vegetarian options.
The Fairlington Farmers Market is open every Sunday, rain or shine, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. through November 19, at the Fairlington Community Center at 3308 S. Stafford St. Parking is available on S. Utah St., S. 32nd Rd., in the community center lot, or along Quaker Lane.
Pre-ordering is available for many vendors for pick up at their booths. New vendors this year include Baguette Republic, Pasta Ilgatto, and Qualia Coffee. As a community-run farmers market, they always welcome volunteers and anyone needing service hours. The volunteer sign up is here.
Opening day will include a visit from the Arlington Art Truck, which will be bringing its current exhibit, Count Your Joys. Arlington artist Heloisa Escudero invites you to her colorful outdoor installation designed for relaxing and reflection as you count the things that bring joy to your life. Then, select a magnet signifying your number of joys and place it on the outside of the Arlington Art Truck. You will see the Arlington Art Truck light up with magnets creating a collage of all the joys we have in Arlington!
