"We're hoping that individuals take advantage of this great opportunity to enjoy a pleasant summer evening outside with some delicious eats from a fantastic lineup of gourmet food trucks, refreshing beverages, and live music."

A portion of the proceeds collected from food vendor sales during this special fundraiser will benefit the Canton Farmers Market, which is currently celebrating its eighteenth season. With the recent influx in "buy local" initiatives, the Canton Farmers Market is seeing an increase in both the number of participating growers and customers. As such, the market continues to expand its offerings during Market hours, which are held every Sunday, rain or shine, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. now through October 13, 2024, at Preservation Park, 500 N. Ridge Road in Canton.

The public is encouraged to attend this special fundraising event, which will be held at Cherry Hill School. No admission is needed to attend the event. For additional information about this special fundraiser, as well as the Canton Farmers Market, visit www.cantonmi.gov/496.
