Between perfect Fall temps, bountiful produce, spicy pepper eatin’, great music, food, drink, and views — this market is sure to be 10 out of 10 stars. We’re thrilled to be back on the riverfront after a stinkin’ good time at Garlic Fest. It’s time to restock on our veggies and market hauls while celebrating the 17th year of the Hot Pepper Showdown! With some wicked hot peppers and some contestants who think they’ve got what it takes to take home the 2026 victory belt, this year is certainly going to be spicy.  The competition starts at 11am on the Scott Park Stage so get there early and secure a front row seat of the action!

Speaking of annual events, the Martin Guitar raffle will officially be up and running this Saturday! This year’s guitar is another beauty from Martin Guitar & Co. (when isn’t it?) and we are so excited to share this beauty with you! Come see it for yourself at the EFM Merch booth. Tickets are only $5 a piece or $20 for 5.
