Stormy Forecast Prompts Napa Farmers Market To Cancel Saturday Market

NAPA, CA— The Napa Farmers Market has been canceled for Saturday, Dec. 10 based on strong wind and heavy rain forecast during market hours, management announced Thursday afternoon in a news release.

A weak atmospheric river is forecast to dump 2-5 inches of rain in the North Bay this weekend. Additionally, a National Weather Service wind advisory is expected to be in effect for the North Bay from midnight Friday until 1 p.m. Saturday.

The Napa Farmers Market, which operates in the parking lot at 1100 West Street in Napa, is typically open from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturdays April through December.

“Canceling a market is not a decision we take lightly, however because of safety concerns about weather conditions, we’re making the tough call to protect safety,” said Mimi Adams, Napa Farmers Market Manager. “We hope community members will come downtown to shop and support our family farmers and small business vendors when conditions improve.”

The Napa Farmers Market is open two more Tuesdays this month — Dec. 13 and 20 — before the weekday market closes until April 4, 2023. The Saturday market is open year-round except for Christmas Eve 2022 which falls on, Saturday, Dec. 24.

In addition to farmers, food makers, and artisan vendors, the St. Helena Hospital Foundation Mobile Health van will have its last scheduled clinic with flu and COVID vaccines at the market on Tuesday, Dec. 13.
