The Santa Rosa Downtown Market is known by many names - the Wednesday Night Market, the Santa Rosa Farmers Market - but whatever the name, this is one of Sonoma County's hallmark events. In the spotlight is the large amount of produce that comes from small farms in Northern California.

But really, to call this a Farmers' Market is a understatement. The Santa Rosa Downtown Market is more like a carnival or street festival that takes place every Wednesday during the summer. Music is played on stage as well as on the street. Vendors of all sorts crowd the street selling their wares and there are all sorts of activities for the kids.

Even though it sometimes gets a little crowded, the feeling around you is safe, relaxed and festive. The Santa Rosa Downtown Market is a must see if you're in town.
