👋 Casual Socializing:
Once you have your food, feel free to gather with others at the patio seating areas and enjoy the market atmosphere together.

🚗 Parking Info
Option 1: Original Farmers Market Surface Lots
Best if you plan to eat mostly at the Market.
• Validation: 90 minutes free with validation from any Market merchant.
• Rates: After 90 minutes, about $3 per 15 minutes, with a daily max around $24–$30.
Option 2: The Grove Parking Structure
Best if you plan to browse shops or stay later.
• Validation: Usually 1 hour free.
• Pro Tip: If you see a movie at AMC The Grove 14, they often validate for up to 4 hours for about $5.
Option 3: Rideshare / Public Transit
Skip the parking hassle with easy drop-offs near the Grove Drive entrance or along Fairfax Ave.
⚠️ Important: Make sure you park in the lot that matches where you get validated. If you park at The Grove but eat at the Farmers Market, your ticket likely won’t validate.
