Christmas in July, Flower Power Day, Health & Wellness make for a busy Washington Farmers Market in July.

The Washington Borough Farmers Market, which takes place every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. by Veteran’s Park in the center of the Downtown, offers a host of fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as other locally sourced products.
