September at the Cary Downtown Farmers Market
Cary, NC — The Cary Downtown Farmers Market is transitioning from its summer offerings to the favorites of fall and several vendors will have all the goodies to help shoppers prepare for football tailgating season, too!
The market is held every Saturday from 8 AM – 12 PM on the grounds of the historic Ivey-Ellington House located at 135 W. Chatham Street in Downtown Cary.
