El Mercado del Valle, the farmers’ market and community gathering space in Odell, will host its opening day of the 2016 season on Thursday, June 2 from 4-7 p.m. on Atkinson Drive in downtown Odell. That’s right: a new time and location near the landmark Odell Methodist Church.

Shoppers will enjoy live music from the African marimba band Jamba Marimba, kid’s activities, live dancing, and a variety of fresh, local foods available from market vendors. El Mercado will continue every first and third Thursday until Sept. 15.
