Come and support the river towns’ new, vibrant, and abundant farmers market!

An invigorated Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow Market (TaSH) will have a grand opening on Saturday, May 23, from 8:3 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Patriot’s Park; parking is available across the street at the Paulding School, and giveaways will be distributed on opening day. With music, kids activities and around 25 vendors, the market is hoping to provide a free mind-body movement class each week plus the presence of a community group on hand to present its events and activities.

Join Tarrytown Mayor Drew Fixell, the Tarrytown Board of Trustees, Village Administrator Michael Blau and Parks Director Joe Arduino, all of whom have been engaged with the Tarrytown Farmers Market Committee in planning and supporting this community-enhancing project.
