The South Durham Farmers' Market Anniversary Celebration includes Touch-a-Truck June 27, a morning event featuring local vendors, live music, complimentary peach jam tastings, and a visiting fire truck. Located at 500 Park Offices Drive, the market runs from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with the truck scheduled to arrive at 9:30 AM. This event is best suited for toddlers and elementary-aged children who want to see a fire engine up close. Admission is free, though you will want to bring wallet money for fresh produce, baked goods, and the market's signature tote bags. Parking is available on-site in the surrounding office park lots. Because the fire department remains on call, the truck's schedule may shift if an emergency arises, so flexibility is key. It is a smart weekend pick because it wraps up by noon, leaving your afternoon free for naps or other errands. You can cross your grocery shopping off the list while the kids get some outdoor entertainment, making it a highly productive and low-stress morning out.
