The Friday Makers & Growers Farmers Market will hold the first Friday Market of the season on Friday, April 18 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the west side of the Point Roberts Marina. Regular Friday markets begin May 2, running weekly from 4 to 7 p.m. through fall. Anyone making or growing items is invited to vend for free.
