Carolina Beach Farmers Market
Only 3 More Saturday Markets for the Season
Even though the first season of Carolina Beach Farmers Market is drawing to a close
with only 3 more Saturdays, there are still crowds coming to Carolina Beach Lake every Saturday morning.

The weather is perfect, the people are friendly, and the shopping is great. What better way is there to spend a Saturday morning?

The market is from 8 to 1 pm around the lake on Lake Park Blvd.




Thanks to Paul Boroznoff of Southern Digital Art for his fantastic panoramic photographs of last week's Farmer's Market and Art Show.
