The Market at Water Street Tampa brings together more than 50 of the best food, art, and beverage vendors in the Tampa area the third Sunday of each month. This event is organized in partnership with Tampa Bay Markets and runs from 10am-3pm. It’s an open air event that’s absolutely free to attend. On Sunday, April 16, Water Street Tampa will host a special Earth Day edition of the event.

During the Sunday Market Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful is hosting a workshop that will teach children how to grow their own food, and each child will walk away with a planted seed and knowledge to take it home and nourish it. Real caterpillars from BuzzFarms will be on display feasting on native milkweed. Reps from the farm will teach attendees about native plants, the migration cycle and other interesting facts about butterflies and how to help protect them.
