"This is an amazing AND FUN annual event," says Robin Schwartz, Program Director of the Community Arts Partnership, who has been running the Artist Market for 28 years. "The Farmers Market's open air structure on Cayuga Lake's inlet is beautiful. Music will be playing, there's plenty of food and wine and beer, and visitors can take their time meeting the artists and looking at the artwork and hopefully finding lots of art to love and to purchase! The local artist talent we have in Tompkins County is truly outstanding

Parking: Be forwarned that parking at the Farmers Market can be slow. There's one road in and it's not unusual on a busy day for it to take over 5 minutes to wind your way in and find a spot. All we can say is: play some music, and know that an adventure is worth the wait. There is overflow parking across Route 13 in the parking lot where the DMV is, but only after 5pm when the businesses there close. Or you can park on the streets in that area and walk in. It's not that far. You can also park outside the entrance on the road shoulders.
