The Farmers’ Market is open from mid-April through mid-November. The market provides residents and visitors with fresh produce grown within a 100-mile radius of Paducah. Farmers’ Market Seasonal Hours of Operation: Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

LowerTown Home & Gallery Tour

More than a dozen homes and galleries will be on the tour this year, including "The Belle Louise" owned by Brent "The Colonel" Dukes, the Queen Anne home of Andy and the Commissioner Gayle Kale just to name a few.

The tour is open to the public and all proceeds benefit  the LowerTown Neighborhood Association and scholarships to the Paducah School of Art. What a great way to see some beautifully restored historic homes while helping two wonderfully worthwhile causes! Plus you get to meet some of the fabulous people of the LowerTown neighborhood. The Saturday hours in the afternoon this year will make it easy to tour the galleries as well.

Tickets are $10 per person and cover you for both days. They will be available for sale the week of April 25 to 30 at the Texaco Station in LowerTown (corner of North 7th Street & Madison) and at Bryerpatch Studio (502 North 5th Street)
