Saturday morning the second vintage market of the season starts at 9. We have vendors galore, and Southern Salt Food Company will be there with breakfast and lunch. Be there by 2, because the market closes promptly at 3.

Then Sunday, our always lovely farmers’ market will also serve as a trolley stop and ticket sales point for the Quapaw Quarter Association’s 50th Spring Tour of Homes. What a wonderful Mother’s Day event.
