This Wednesday market ran outside Dawson's Market, the specialty grocer on North Washington Street in downtown Rockville, from May through September — produce, gourmet cheese, baked goods, meat, and seafood pulled partly from the store's own local sourcing. Dawson's Market closed permanently in June 2024 after twelve years, and there's no indication the outdoor market has continued under a different host. Anyone updating this listing should confirm whether it still runs at all.

It's a modest, FFA-organized market rather than a big-production event, built around the same families showing up week to week.
