ELK GROVE, Calif. — A lack of foot traffic along with a shortage of growers and vendors is bringing the Sunday farmers market in Elk Grove to an end.
The market made a triumphant return after it closed during the height of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
It re-debuted in May 2022 as part of a revitalized Old Town Plaza and became a year-round Sunday farmers market.
However, the city of Elk Grove says the Living Smart Foundation, which operates the market, told them there weren't enough growers, guests or other vendors to sustain it.
So, the final market is slated for June 25.
That being said, the city is now looking for what might eventually take the market's place.
"The City is in the process of exploring other programming opportunities for gatherings at the Old Town Plaza and we welcome your suggestions," a city spokesperson told ABC10 in a statement. "In the meantime, we invite you to continue attending the Food Truck Mania events on the first Wednesday of each month, the Americana Vintage Markets on the second Saturday of each month, and our free Fridays in the Grove events on the first Friday of the month at the Old Town Plaza."
