Downtown San Luis Obispo’s Thursday Night Farmers’ Market placed #9 in USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards for “Best Farmers Market”. The Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market was nominated by an expert panel out of over 8,600 registered farmers’ markets across the country, and then voted on by the public.
“Known as one of California’s best outdoor markets, the SLO Thursday extravaganza is designed to make locals come back for more every week and tourists vow to return again soon,” the article writes.
Downtown SLO wants to acknowledge that this recognition is a reflection of the collective efforts that make this weekly street festival a success; including vendors, partners, sponsors, and the community members who show up week after week. Downtown SLO is honored to have the opportunity to provide access to fresh, local food while sustaining a weekly tradition that is deeply woven into the identity and culture of San Luis Obispo.
