About Our Thursday Night Marketplace
The farm fresh produce of the Mill Street Farmers Market -June - thru August 2012 -is only part of the reason so many come to the center of Historic Grass Valley to browse, shop, refresh, relax, recreate and celebrate summer with fellow citizens. The Thursday Market is a demonstration of free enterprise and new ideas blended with heritage craftmanship and art. See and meet over 100 local entrepreneurs and traders featuring items from around the world and up in the hills!
A Free Summer Concert Series July- August 2012 One near the Holbrooke Hotel and the second in front of city hall featuring 10 weeks of great entertainment. There are street performers and entertainment for everyone in the family, including crafts for kids, a climbing wall and a bounce house. Enjoy a meal at a sidewalk cafe or cruise the food court for international foods and dine with your neighbors at our Community Dining Area.
This heritage event in the heart of the Gold Country blends the town and country elements and attitudes of Nevada County into a neighborly snapshot of our community. In this day and age when most commerce is geared to the automobile and satellite malls. The Thursday Night Marketplace brings the local and regional community downtown, in the shadow of a wonderfully historic and colorful hometown. This is the real thing, this is the face of our community and it reflects the synergy of those who live here and those who visit or would love to live in our town. This is the 16th year of this celebration of Downtown Grass Valley. The market is a Certified California Farmers Market, licensed by the county, the state of California and the USDA.
