The Princeton City Park is a great location for this market, with its shady pathways, children's play area, and more.
Admission and parking are free, so you'll save some dollars to put towards a great find from one of the stalls.
In addition to some vendors selling delicious bites, there's also an Information Booth that doubles as a food stand and local service groups and organizations serve snacks, sandwiches, and beverages from the historic food stand in the center of the Park.
While great, the food stand really just keeps your energy up so you can search through stall after stall for unique and wonderful items you won't be able to resist taking home with you.
Some stalls require a sharp eye and a willingness to dig a little for a gem.
While others are full of arts and crafts made by local artisans.
