DURHAM, CA (MPG) - The Durham Grange Farmers Market will continue every Sunday through Oct. 25 following a strong opening day that drew families, vendors and community groups to the Midway.

Organizers said the first market featured a steady turnout, with children taking part in a scavenger hunt while residents gathered to shop and connect. Local musician Shane Myers provided live music, and the Exchange Club of Durham handed out flags and water to attendees.

The weekly market runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. behind Dollar General in Durham. Vendors offer fresh produce, prepared foods and handmade goods, with organizers encouraging residents to support local businesses while spending time in the community.

Organizers described the opening day as a positive start and said the market aims to build a regular Sunday tradition in Durham through the fall season.
