Dear Vendors,

Unfortunately, there is still rain in the forecast for this Saturday. Accuweather predicts "times of clouds and sun with a couple of showers and a thunderstorm, mainly later." 60% chance of rain. Winds at 8 to 13mph. High of 88F, low of 72F.

So the forecast could be better. But if the weather holds out, it should be a great Saturday with Fall Garden Extravaganza in Munn Park and the Hispanic Festival on Lake Mirror.

Don't forget to participate in the vendor pumpkin decorating contest! Voting will be via text message. Share your pumpkin on social media to collect more votes. Here are the rules again:

This year, only real, perishable pumpkins modified by you somehow (through either carving or decorating) will be eligible for the contest this Saturday, October 26.
  • Participating vendors will receive a $10 credit (to offset their purchase of a perishable pumpkin) deducted from their December Shared Marketing Costs.
  • Voting (by customers) on the day of the event will be done via text message.
  • The prize for the vendor who collects the most votes (via text message) will be an $80 credit toward future Shared Marketing Costs.
  • The contest has been a very fun addition to the Market, so we hope that you participate! We also encourage you to dress up in costume for customers (although there is no financial incentive to do so--just Market team spirit!).
Best Wishes,
The Market Staff

A Great Saturday Downtown

This weekend is the annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest at the Market! Vote for your favorite vendor's decorated pumpkin, and help them win free space for a month! Plus, when you are done shopping, check out the Fall Garden Extravaganza in Munn Park, which runs from 8am to 3pm, and the Hispanic Festival on Lake Mirror from 12pm to 9pm. We suggest parking at the north end of the Market near Oak St. to avoid road closures further south. Learn more about our vendors at LakelandCurbMarket.org.

Your SNAP Dollars, Doubled!

Did you know that if you have a SNAP Access EBT card you can use it at the Market Information/FAB tent every Saturday? Take as much money off your card as you want, receive red tokens in exchange, and spend the tokens like cash with participating vendors. Also, we will double your SNAP dollars with up to $40 worth of FAB tokens. That means that you if you spend up to $40, you will get $80 back! The green FAB tokens can be spent on Florida-grown fruits, veggies, and edible plants. So what's stopping you? Double your SNAP dollars every Saturday!

Give the Gift of Options!

Purchase Market Bucks, Use with Any Market Vendor!

Buy Market Bucks from the Market Information/FAB Tent on the southwest corner of Kentucky Ave. and Pine St. The Market Bucks don't expire for a year, and they can be spent with any vendor at the Market. [If you plan to purchase more than $20, please call or text (863-259-6971) or email (bmelson@ldda.org) in advance.]
The Market Footprint
Ever wondered where, exactly, the Market ends and begins?

The Market stretches directly north from the train tracks, up North Kentucky Avenue, across Pine Street and Bay Street, all the way to Oak Street. That's over four blocks of Market fun!

Ever wondered where to park?

There is parking conveniently located at both ends of the market--on Oak Street and across the train tracks by Munn Park. There is also limited on-street parking on Tennesee Ave. and Pine St.
