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

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.
Entertainers are invited to provide the opportunity for
listeners to contribute a gratuity for the entertainment
provided.
