🚨 COMMUNITY MARKET AT STARKEY PARK — CANCELED DUE TO WEATHER ⛈️🌧️

After carefully monitoring the weather conditions and forecast, we have made the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow’s Community Market at Starkey Park, scheduled for Sunday, August 23rd.

The safety of our vendors, guests, families, and event team is always our top priority. With unfavorable weather expected, we feel cancellation is the safest and most responsible decision for everyone involved.

We know how much everyone was looking forward to our End of Summer Market, and we are just as disappointed that we won’t be gathering beneath the beautiful live oaks at Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park tomorrow. 💛🌳

A heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our vendors who prepared for this event and to our wonderful community for your continued enthusiasm and support of local small businesses. Your understanding and support mean so much to us. ❤️

📢 PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD by sharing this post with friends, family, and anyone who may have been planning to attend.

🌧️ Sunday, August 23rd — CANCELED DUE TO WEATHER

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the Community Market at Starkey Park for another beautiful market day soon!

Until then, please stay safe, stay dry, and continue to shop local, support local, and love local. 🛍️❤️

🚨 OFFICIAL EVENT CANCELLATION NOTICE 🚨

It is with disappointment that we announce the Historic Dade City Farmers Market scheduled for Saturday, August 1, 2026, has been canceled due to the forecast of severe weather.

The safety of our vendors, shoppers, volunteers, and staff is always our highest priority. With the potential for heavy rain, thunderstorms, and hazardous conditions, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this month’s market.

We know many of you were looking forward to spending the day shopping local and supporting our amazing small businesses, and we share your disappointment. We encourage everyone to continue supporting our vendors whenever possible by visiting their storefronts, social media pages, or online shops.

💚 Thank you to our incredible vendors, loyal customers, and community for your understanding and continued support.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back at our next Historic Dade City Farmers Market, held on the first Saturday of every month from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Agnes Lamb Park in Historic Downtown Dade City.

Please stay safe, keep an eye on the weather, and we’ll see you next month!
