Highway's End Farmers Market

 
 

 

Crafters, jewelry, hand spun yarn, hand thrown pottery, books, baked items, fabric by the yard, as well as gourmet hot dogs make the market an interesting place to visit.

Customers often sit on the benches to enjoy the various musicians, singers and bands that play during the day. Electricity is available for them at no charge in the gazebo for the day long open mic. Everyone is welcome.

The market is open Wednesdays and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The market is located “at the triangle” at the corner of the Alaska and Richardson Highways, behind the Sullivan Roadhouse Museum and across the street from the Visitors Center.

Open Mic At The Market


Musicians, singers, dancers, church choirs and all other types of entertainers are welcome to perform at Delta’s Highway’s End Farmers Market this year.

If you have a talent, a new composition you’d like to debut or something you want to try out in front of a live audience, the market welcomes you.

For the past several years, many different musicians have entertained at the market, creating a festive mood that is enjoyed by those shopping as well as many who come just to enjoy the entertainment.

This year, nothing will be scheduled. An open mic will welcome all entertainers at any time during the market hours between 10:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. The market is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Please bring your own equipment. Electricity is available without charge in the gazebo, center stage at the market. Please keep in mind that the Market is family oriented.
