The South of Washington (SoWa) district once again hosts its seasonal weekly artisan market, drawing dozens of vendors to 500 Harrison Ave. on Sundays during the warm months. This year’s market kicks off on Sunday, May 7 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The open-air joint farmer and artisan market regularly hosts more than 100 vendors each Sunday, selling fresh produce, handmade items, art, artisan goods, and products from small businesses of all kinds. Guests can also expect food and drink trucks, lawn games, and beer gardens. The outdoor market is located adjacent to Thayer Street and its rows of artist studios, galleries, and retail shops.
