The Downtown Market is Always Fun for Children

Between the Market’s own “Spud Club” for children, the many kid-centered events at Friends’ own tent events, the musicians who perform every week, and all the incredible food at the dozens of vendors, the Downtown Evanston Farmers Market can be a magical place for kids.

For instance, the activity a couple of week’s ago involved the creative production of “veggie people.” Here is the creation of  Spud Clubber Lily.

Friends tent events have included visitor’s from District 65 and Heller Bees among their many kid-centric activities The Heller Bees return on October 17.

And sometimes, families make the fun happen themselves. Here are some lovely snaps capturing the joy of a pair of young music lovers. It appears they like mangos as well.

So, Spring, Summer or Fall, let your children learn about the joys of food in manners fresh, delicious and sometimes a bit educational. The whole family will love the experience.
