Up Coming Special Events @ the Market

Sat. / Sun July 11 & 12:  6th Lavender in the Village  

Special Market hours:  Saturday: 7 am - 1 pm / Sunday: 8 am - 1 pm  (some vendors may stay until 4 pm)

Festival hours are 8 am - 4 pm each day

Parking and Access:  This year the lavender festival committee is charging an admission fee to help cover the costs of additional shuttle buses, but the admission fee does not apply to those coming to the growers' /arts& crafts markets.  If you just want to come to the market, you can park for free on the street and come to the market as you usually do.

Market "Ask the Experts":  The market will present a series of short presentations every hour on the half-hour from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm on Saturday, and 8:30 - 12:30 pm on Sunday at the north end of the market, adjacent to the music area.   Our experts will then be available at their booths to answer questions throughout the market time of the festival.  Look for the sign "Expert" on the special booths.  Bring questions to ask our experts who include chefs and food specialists, growers, landscape designers and horticulturists, certified herbalists, and makers of scents, soaps and lavender wands.

For more information regarding events on the Village Green and in the barn, at Los Poblanos, and at Casa Rondena, the fun run and pet parade, as well as shuttle bus info, see the festival web site:  www.lavenderinthevillage.com
