Zucchini Festival at the Farmers' Market ,
August 19th
|
|
Its time once again for the wild and wacky Zucchini Festival, happening Saturday, August 19th at the Healdsburg Farmers Market.
Bringing out the kid in all of us, the Zucchini Festival celebrates the humble vegetable in several ways. The first is size. If you have a giant zucchini growing in your garden don’t cook it up just yet. Instead bring it down to the market and enter it in the Giant Zucchini Competition. Your humongous squash might be a winner, beating out all the other mongo zukes in the neighborhood.
Decoration also plays a part in the festivities. Creativity is key here, as bedecking your zucchini in an artistic way can net you some great prizes. But this lovely art piece must also roll. Yes, each zucchini must have wheels inserted, while they are being judged, and then raced down the Farmers’ Market specially built track.
The Zucchini Races are as hilarious as they are clever. A Healdsburg tradition going back decades, this festival is a delight for the whole family. There are multiple age categories, so everyone can enter.
Several local businesses and market vendors have donated prizes, so plan on competing for the goodies and the glory. The festival also needs volunteers, if you want to help get those zucchini in gear.
Held in the parking aisle adjacent to the market (sorry, no customer parking for August 19th), it is an easy stroll over to do your shopping. If you have not yet been to the Healdsburg Certified Farmers’ Market you are in for a treat. Over a dozen local farms selling tons of fresh produce, combined with cheeses, eggs, meat, seafood, breads, baked goods, condiments, chocolate, organic almonds, spices, handmade craft, and much more.
Come enjoy the Healdsburg Farmers’ Market Zucchini Festival, then shop our wonderful market, and share in Healdsburg’s celebration of its agricultural heritage and bounty.
To register, just show up at 8:30am on Saturday, August 19th. For more information or to volunteer email manager@healdsburgfarmersmarket.org or call 707 824-8717. The latest updates are always on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HealdsburgFarmMarket/ .
