Yorktown Market Days – First Responders Market
September 12 @ 8:00 am – 12:00 pm
First Responders Market
They rush toward emergencies while others run away, and today, come celebrate them at Yorktown’s annual First Responders Market. They honor the heroes who keep our community safe and sound. Meet local firefighters, deputies, dispatchers, and other first responders; explore emergency vehicles; and learn valuable safety tips. Many vendors and artists will even be offering discounts as a special thank-you.
While you’re here, shop farm-fresh produce, seafood, meats, flowers, honey, handmade crafts, and more. It’s a heartfelt and family-friendly way to say thanks to our everyday heroes!
