Yorktown Market Days – First Responders Market

Yorktown Market Days
Riverwalk Landing 331 Water Street, Yorktown

They run toward emergencies when others run away—and this day is all about honoring them. 🚓🚒
The First Responders Market celebrates the heroes who keep our community safe. Meet local firefighters, deputies, dispatchers, and other first responders, explore emergency vehicles, and learn helpful safety tips. Many vendors and artists will offer special discounts as a thank-you.
Shop farm-fresh produce, seafood, meats, flowers, honey, handmade crafts, and more—it’s a family-friendly way to show appreciation for our everyday heroes.
☔ In case of inclement weather, the market moves to the lower level of the Water Street Parking Terrace.
🚌 The free, ADA-accessible Yorktown Trolley begins running at 11 a.m.
