FARMERS' MARKET:  The City of Kirkwood operates one of the oldest Farmers’ Markets in the region. Founded in 1976 as a bicentennial project, the market is located downtown, at 150 East Argonne, at the corner of Taylor Avenue. An annual Earth Day celebration in April, the Festival of Food and Flowers in May, and the Peach Festival each July are all held at the Market.

GREENTREE FESTIVAL:  Every year, thousands flock to Kirkwood Park in September to hear live music, sample the great variety of food for sale, and check out the eclectic array of retail goods for sale from artists and artisans who come from all over the region to participate. There’s a parade on Saturday morning, a Folklife Festival with its own music, food, and artisans, and a rockin’ concert on Friday night to get the whole thing started.
