What's up, Wallingford!?
Our indoor winter market starting December 6th has a location change!

After some creative planning and help from our wonderful Police Department and Public Works Department, we were able to secure the garage from the former PD to host our Indoor Winter Garden Market. Moving from our building up to Wallace Ave will provide more designated parking, a centralized location easy to walk to, and more access for attendees to shop at local Wallingford businesses before and after the market. This will help us to better promote our Garden Market's mission of supporting local vendors and businesses.

The garage is located at the end of Wallace Ave, off of Center Street. Below is an updated flyer with details for the market as well as an overhead map with the new location (yellow star on map). We ask that everyone park on Wallace Ave and enter through the access gate. Wallingford Garden Market Town of Wallingford Government
