In addition to the farmers market, the site will host a variety of complementary activities, including live music, car meets, and family-friendly attractions within the on-site fun park. Planned amenities include miniature golf, a video game room, batting cages, and go-kart facilities. During market hours, Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., a market manager will be on site to oversee operations, including vendor selection, space allocation, and compliance with health and safety regulations.
