There will be more than 120 local vendors at the market.

The kickoff to the season will have added family-friendly festivities including live music, entertainment, food trucks and giveaways.

The first 100 customers will get a free reusable bag and $5 in “market bucks” to spend at the market.

Hourly product giveaways will also feature local fare from some of the vendors. And kids can get a free churro at the El Mero Mero Taqueria food truck while supplies last.

The Callingwood Farmers’ Market will continue its Young Entrepreneurs Program, which offers free tables at the market for kids under 18 to try their hand at small business.

A mid-week market on Wednesdays will begin later in the summer. It will be open from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. starting on June 18.

More information about the market events and vendors can be found online.
