The Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District is hosting its Sixth Farmers Market runs through Sept. 19 at the Broadway Middle School parking lot, 1120 Broadway.

The event supports families and businesses and provides fresh, healthy food to the community. This year the market will feature more than 50 vendors over the market season, as well as activities like face painting, kids craft opportunities and live music.

Angi Wildt is in her second year as manager.

The Seaside Farmers Market offers a SNAP match program that will match SNAP purchases dollar for dollar up to $10, allowing low income families to have easier access to healthy foods. In addition, patrons can spend Farm Direct Nutrition Program checks on fresh foods.

Summer hours for the market are 3 to 7 p.m.; September hours are 4 to 7 p.m. For more information about the farmers market and other upcoming events, visit sunsetempire.com or contact Angi Wildt at awildt@sunsetempire.com.
