It’s beginning to feel a lot like the holiday season, and this Saturday is the perfect time to stock up on items for gifts and gatherings at the Downtown Winter Farmers’ Market presented by UnityPoint Health – Des Moines. The outdoor Winter Market will take place in the Historic Court District on Court Avenue and surrounding streets in Downtown Des Moines (DSM) this Saturday, Dec. 4, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
The festive open-air street market will be filled with unique gift shopping, live music, hot cocoa and apple cider for purchase, and warming stations. There will also be an ornament-making station on-site for attendees of all ages to enjoy.
More than 70 Market vendors will have seasonal local produce, meat, cheese, eggs, jam, jelly, salsa and many other varieties of value-added farm food and local art available for purchase. There will also be breakfast and lunch street food options on-site. See a full list of vendors on The Market’s website.
