An individaul that goes by the name of One Clean Beach (@onecleanbeach on Instagram) has been dedicating her own time cleaning the beaches here in Carlsbad so much that she can create this beautiful plastic art with beach toys collected. How inspirational is this? Carlsbad features an incredible seven miles of spectacular Pacific Ocean coastline, with beaches perfect for surfing, fishing, sunbathing, and more. Let's help to keep them clean!

Twenty-six years ago, a couple dozen local and regional farmers and a handful of crafters and food purveyors set up shop in the parking lot on Roosevelt Street between Carlsbad Village Drive and Grand Avenue. So began the legacy of the Carlsbad Farmers’ Market. The year was 1994, and the Carlsbad Village Business Association finally saw their dream come to fruition after months of public meetings, council meetings, and more. Jump to October 2020, and the market, now the S...tate Street Farmers’ Market, is still going strong despite the most challenging year in its history. It has been nearly seven years since the market moved to State Street to help bring more foot traffic to the Village to benefit the businesses downtown. No one knew that after years of steady growth, finally stretching its footprint to accommodate nearly 60 produce and specialty food vendors, that it would have such restrictive conditions placed upon it due to an unprecedented health pandemic. The Carlsbad Village Association cannot thank its vendors enough for their patience during this difficult time. We also cannot express its gratitude to the loyal shoppers who return week after week who have been so gracious and supportive from the start. Please join us this afternoon, , , , to help us celebrate the State Street Farmers' Market in Carlsbad Village's 26th birthday with fun giveaways and a chance to pick up some coveted Market Money. As always, please wear a face cover at all times at the market to keep our community safe. Tag your crew and share this post, looking forward to seeing you all! ' Celebrating 26 years downtown!
