Columbia, CA — The Columbia Chamber of Commerce is announcing a new certified farmer’s market in Columbia. The market will have a grand open Thursday, May 7 at 5:00 pm on Main Street in Columbia State Historic Park. The market will run every Thursday through October from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm outdoors, rain or shine.

The New Columbia Farmer’s Market is separate from the year-round indoor market at the Columbia airport armory building run by the Mountain People Organics every Wednesday and Saturday.

Columbia Chamber of Commerce President Gary Neubert, says “Thanks to Angela Matulich and Heather Doyle, the Chamber has a brand new weekly event to promote and grow!” Expect to find organic products, vendors with hand-crafted items, unique foods, antiques, activities for children, docents in costumes and music. Park staff will keep the park exhibits and the museum open Thursdays. “We hope the community comes out to support this and that it continues for a long time.” said Neubert.

Matulich says, “Some Chamber members and residents have formed a small group to promote evening activity in Columbia. We call ourselves the Nights of Columbia and this is the first new event we have started to help achieve our goal of bringing some life back to Columbia after 5 pm.”
