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!

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.
