From staff reports:

Starting Sept. 7, the Federal Way Farmers Market will be open 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays at 31600 20th Ave. S. (near the transit center). The market will continue to operate from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays at the same location through the end of October.

Dubbed by organizers as “Wednesday Night Out,” the mid-week market will feature plenty of vendors and food samples along with live music. It will be a slightly smaller version than the mainstay Saturday market. Different vendors will likely attend the Wednesday market, bringing more variety.

Chili Cook-Off

Next month, the Federal Way Farmers Market will host the annual Chili Cook-off from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 24. Federal Way police and South King Fire and Rescue battle for chili supremacy, all to benefit charities. Tickets are on sale now for $10. Visit www.federalwayfarmersmarket.com.
