I love the Denton Community Market! It's like a miniature Arts and Jazz Fest every Saturday from spring to fall. The Community Market is an outdoor market hosted next to the beautifully restored Bayless-Selby House Museum, which lends an additional small-town-cozy feeling to it. Kids run around on the grass while their parents look on and musicians play in the central gazebo.
There's music, arts and crafts stalls hosted by local artists, farmers selling their harvested produce, dogs hanging out with their people, and there's even some prepared (hot) food vendors.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreHey y'all I've sure been missing a sweet treat of a time perusing all the many vendors. They all had a lot to offer.

Note: pst, not sure how to find a farmer w grass fed beef and good chicken? ....FARMERS...

Parking was kind of a mess and people were rudely just cutting thru parking spaces to get out of the lot. Saw several close calls for accidents.
There were signs asking people to wear masks and be socially distant but st least 50% of the people were not complying.
Maybe it's just the area, but people (meaning the patrons) were generally kind of rude or at the minimum just didn't care about other people.
Don't get me wrong, it's a decent little Farmer's market. Just be prepared to have to tolerate the ignorance of the masses. It's sad because there's potential for it to be...
