La Plata Farmers Market is Now on Friday Night
The La Plata Farmers Market is a long-beloved place to purchase fresh local produce and locally made goods from all around southern Maryland.
The La Plata Farmers Market takes place in the historic town of La Plata Maryland in Calvert County in the courthouse parking lot on Saturdays and at the parking lot north of the intersection of Talbot Street and Washington Avenue on Wednesdays. The market has been open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from April through November since 1978. Now for the first time ever, the La Plata Farmers Market is going to be open every first Friday night of the month for even more local shopping goodness.
