Last market
Mercer Island Farmers Market
Sun Oct 11 · 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
7700 SE 32nd St
The city says the 2026 season is May 31 through Oct 11, every Sunday, 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. This is the last one. It does not return on Oct 18.
The library branch list used for September did not publish an Oct 11 storytime. Do not assume one. Luther Burbank is the walk after the tents if you still want the water.
