The Historic Roanoke City Market January 2, 2010

The oldest continuously operating open air farmers' market in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Walking through the Market will transport you to an older, more tranquil time when farmers and other vendors brought their produce to the Market in horse drawn wagons. The horses and wagons have disappeared but the traditional produce of the Market is as strong and vibrant as when the Market opened in 1884. Open six days a week with permanent tables and overhead canopies. Fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers, plants, meats, cheese, baked goods, honey and handmade crafts are offered at 60 stalls. Surrounded by restaurants, speciality shops, museums, art and antique galleries.In the heart of Downtown Roanoke at the intersection of Campbell Avenue and Market Street.
