Every Sunday is a great day for the kids at the market, but this Sunday is going to be extra special!  Every Sunday the entire market in on a playground so it has a safe and family friendly vibe going in. We always have the kinder playground open, you can always buy a piece of delicious fruit or grab a snack for a buck, and the wide aisles are a huge plus for the strollers and wagons.

This Sunday May 30th at 9am, we will have a mini kids fair opening with a drum circle!!  So head over to the grass area in the kinder playground just to the left of the entrance and join the party!   Drum circle hosted by Jammin’ Music.  There will also be information about the store and  Jammin’ Music’s summer music camps and lessons.

Avery Boo, will be in the house!!       CREATE BUILD IMAGINE
Averyboo Arts is a creativity center and gallery for children 18mo to 10 years old. In addition to art enrichment classes and birthday parties, they offer ‘Open Studio’; where children can spend their time exploring our various creativity stations including easel painting, open supply case, craft tables, a variety of building blocks, art appreciation installations, dress-up with mini stage, and more. They also have an indoor “chalk walk” where kids can literally draw on the walls! Parent: they have comfortable seating and free wifi!!

Pixie Toys will also be out with a fine selection of toys and activities and if you need photos or albums you have to check out Vangie’s work!  Ogg Studio is a great place for a sitting, or go on location with Vangie…your house, the beach, Union Station even the alley!!  Her work is amazing!!

Children’s Books!  Our farmers market book stand, Gatsby’s Books is put together by Longfellow dad, Sean Moor.  He will be bringing a special collection of children’s books out this Sunday as well.  He has a terrific inventory of classic and collectible books…you won’t want to miss his booth!!

And because we love kids, we are launching a new kids dollar menu!!   There are lots of choices for $1, $2 and $3, and we are working with all our vendors to make sure there is a nice selection of items for the whole family.  We know it can get expensive to buy food out, and we know everyone is starving after the Sunday morning activities – so here you go!!

Shortnin’ Bread has a homemade biscuit with locally made jam – $2

Salsa Anytime is serving a small bean and cheese burrito – $1

Ari’s Foods is doing a cup of hummus and pita chips – $1

The new Long Beach Sunday Market in California Heights is located on the playground of Longfellow Elementary School. The street address of the school is 3800 Olive Avenue Long Beach, CA 90807 – but the market is actually held on the opposite side of the school off of California Avenue at Bixby Road on the playground.
