Seventh District Councilwoman Tonia Reyes Uranga will host on Sunday the grand opening of a new neighborhood Long Beach Sunday Market in California Heights.
The Sunday Farmers Market will be held weekly from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the playground at Longfellow Elementary, at California Road at Bixby.
An assortment of local business and community groups will be there opening day.
The market will have all the basics and some special amenities, including farmers with a variety of fresh produce, food vendors with prepared food -- even a coffee cart.
Said the veteran councilwoman:
"This is a terrific opportunity for folks from all the surrounding neighborhoods to come out and play. Eat, shop, get to know and support each other.
"The market will feature the basics at first, and grow and grow from there. With community participation, this terrific event will be able to generate substantial support for our schools."
If you would like to be involved, would like to host or sponsor a class or demonstration, contact market manager Kelli Johnson at 562.528-6259 or email at Info@LongBeachSundayMarket.com.
