The Collection at RiverPark hosts weekly Farmers Market

Farmers Market open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., beginning June 19

OXNARD — Beginning on June 19, The Collection at RiverPark will be hosting a Farmers Market every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in partnership with Raw Inspiration. Presented by Community Memorial Health System, the Farmers Market will be located on Collection Boulevard across from The Annex Food Hall.

On opening day, June 19, The Collection will kick off the Farmers Market with fun festivities for all ages. There will be live music, arts and crafts, photo opportunities, and more for the whole family to enjoy. From opening day forward, the weekly Farmers Market will offer visitors a chance to stroll in the sunshine as they shop for fresh, local, farm-to-table food.

“We can’t wait to welcome the community to this new Farmers Market,” said the shopping center’s Marketing Manager, Jill Almonia. “Here in Oxnard, we are fortunate to have a strong agricultural community and beautiful farmland right in our own backyard. This is a great opportunity to get outside this summer, support local farmers and merchants, and find some of the most delicious produce.”

After visiting the Farmers Market, visitors can continue enjoying the warm weather in the open-air atmosphere of The Collection as they shop, dine and explore the shopping center’s numerous businesses. At The Collection’s Park View Court, visitors can picnic under the California sun, and in the evening, string lights illuminate the area, creating a beautiful outdoor dining atmosphere.

The Collection also offers a variety of other fun activities for community members of all ages and interests, including the Kids Club, Artisan Market and other exciting experiences.
