Each month at Nocatee, a market pops up offering food, crafts, and gifts, plus activities and special events related specifically to a unique and ever-changing theme.
Held the 3rd Saturday of the Month from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm, the Nocatee Farmers Market is full of activities, shows and demonstrations for the entire family. With more than 80 vendors and so much to do, everyone is sure to have a great time. This market offers less fresh produce than other area markets, but there are lots of homemade jams, jellies, home baked goods, hand stitched quilts, plants, art and pottery items. There is also a tasty array of prepared food offerings including local St. Augustine crab cakes, smoked BBQ, kettle corn, pulled pork BBQ and Kona shaved ice.
Monthly on the third Saturday of the month, starting from Jan 20, 2024, 11 am to 3 pm. Arlington’s century-old Norman Studios, now a museum dedicated to silent film history, is ready for public tours after major renovations.
The former silent film studio opened in 1916 is now a National Historic Landmark. Admission is free.
Wild Wonders presents ”The Reptile Show”, a 45-minute program that includes stories, music, and humor. Come join us for the entertaining and educational program that will have your children scrambling for the nearest reptile book.
