Alpharetta Farmers Market Opens Season Saturday in New Location
City Center construction has forced the weekly event to move to Old Canton Street in downtown Alpharetta, right beside this weekend's Alpharetta Arts Streetfest.
Saturday marks the start of the season for the Alpharetta Farmers Market, which is in a new location in downtown Alpharetta.
The Farmers Market had to leave its site next door to City Hall because of the beginning of work for the City Center project. This year the vendors will be on Old Canton Street in downtown, next to the mini park on Milton Avenue.
