French Market Outdoors

Wheaton French Market Returns Saturday, April 8

The first week of the Wheaton French Market begins this Saturday, April 8! This year’s market will be the first time it is held under the City’s new downtown pavilion, just south of the railroad tracks near Main Street and Liberty Drive.

Vendors often change throughout the season, so visitors will find different items each week.
