Now that the weather is beautiful, and summer has officially started I wanted to do something relaxing outside. I read in the Pioneer Press yesterday about Gurnee’s Farmers Market. It is scheduled to be every Friday from 8 am to 1 pm. It takes place in Peterson Park right off of 132 (Grand Ave.) on Kilbourne Road in Gurnee, IL.
There are tons of places to park, and all of the spots are conveniently located. Right when you walk up to the park you can hear live music. There was a young girl playing the keyboard in the parks pavilion. It definitely added to the experience.
The farmers market is all set in a circle. It was so nice to be able to follow the sidewalk and to have all of the different venders along the trail. They had a ton of different things to look at. There were different venders selling everything from jewelry to dog toys. There were also a few different venders that had really cute garden décor. One couple was selling their own homemade bird baths. They were adorable.
Aside from all of the fun things to buy, they had so much to eat! I stopped at Wild Flour Bakery’s tent for a muffin. It was delicious! Then I wanted something refreshing so I went over to The Thirst Cup and had a smoothie. It was perfect for the hot summer day! They had tents with barbeque food, kettle corn, fresh fruit, and homemade honey. I can’t wait until next Friday, I’m going to go there to get some lunch!
