The La Jolla Open Aire Market turns 14 this month. The local farmers market at La Jolla Elementary School, which benefits the public school, will have a big Harvest Festival this Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Come dressed in a costume and enjoy live music, a balloon artist, a calk walk, carnival games, arts and crafts, prizes, and, of course, all the regular vendors. 

The La Jolla Open Aire Market is a great way to stock up on fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheeses, breads, desserts, nuts and a variety of prepared foods. In addition, numerous local artistics and food court vendors set up each Sunday.

The farmers market started as a fundraiser to pay for a library and librarian 14 years ago. It reached and surpasseded that original goal and now funds various initiatives at LJES, including school improvements and programs such as a library, art, music, technology, nurse, extra teachers for lower class sizes in 4th and 5th grade, and instructional supplies.

In addition to helping the children of LJES, the market has also become a vibrant weekly event and gathering place for the entire La Jolla community, explained parent Wendy LaGrange.
