Over 40 stallholders from Austria, Italy and Slovenia bring along what the Alpe-Adria region has to offer. If you want to shop for regional produce, this is the place. Fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, bread, homemade specialities, plus handmade souvenirs. ## Why the farmers’ market is worth it for a relaxed evening The market does not open until 17:00. That means the day by the lake is still yours, and afterwards you stroll over to the Marktplatz. Between the stalls there is seating, occasional live music and people who are in no hurry. ## What to expect - Over 40 stallholders with regional produce from three countries - Fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese, bread and homemade specialities - Handmade souvenirs from craft and artists’ stalls - A pop-up hut with new stallholders that changes every week - Seating and moments of live music ## Good to know Come early in the evening, when the choice of fresh produce is still complete. In light rain the market goes ahead anyway; many of the stalls are covered. ## Practical information Faak farmers' market Opening hours every Thursday from early May to the end of September, 17:00 to 22:30 Admission free of charge Distance from the apartment on the Faaker See approx. 3 km, 6 min. by car Getting there Marktplatz 1, 9583 Faak am See.
