Chefs' Market 2010
This year, the Market is one week longer!

Lots of cities have farmers markets and street fairs. Nobody does it like Napa. 

   You can find a farmer’s market anywhere. But only in Napa can you buy your produce, watch a world class chefs demonstration, enjoy live music at four stages including one just for kids – while enjoying a glass of Napa Valley wine.  The sixteenth annual Thursday night Napa Chef's Market summer season kicks-off on Thursday, May 20, from 5 to 9 PM on First Street in Downtown Napa.  Free and open to the public, this outdoor food, wine and entertainment extravaganza is like no other - it  features food and wine tastings from Napa Valley restaurants and wineries, cooking demonstrations by Napa's acclaimed chefs, dozens of food vendors, three musical stages, and a block of children’s entertainment. Kaiser Permanente, the presenting Sponsor of Chefs’ Farmers' Market, is proud to host a farmers market that features produce from some of the region's top farmers. Chefs Market has been voted “Best Family Outing” by local radio stations KVON & KVYN listeners for years.

   Even casual foodies will enjoy the two nightly cooking demonstrations at 6:30 and 7:30 each night, which are hosted by Anne Baker, former pastry chef for Mustards Grill.  Baker lines up two chefs each night, and both pair their offerings with wine from a downtown tasting room.  Samples of food and wine are free to all watching.

   Want to bicycle to the Market and still walk around?  The Napa Valley Clean Air Coalition and the Napa County Cycle Coalition have teamed up to offer free valet bicycle parking at Dwight Murray Plaza.  Park your bike and stroll the streets unencumbered.
