To our Banning community, as we head into the cooler weather and upcoming holiday season, the Banning Farmers Market will be taking a temporary pause. We’re so grateful to everyone who has supported the market and local vendors!

Please take a few minutes to complete a community survey. Use the link below, and share what you’d love to see when the market returns. Your feedback will help us bring back a farmers market that better serves our Banning community.
Thank you for your understanding.

Underage drinking can have lasting effects on young people, their families, and our community. Prevention starts with conversations, connection, and making sure our youth have the support they need to make healthy choices.

Talk early. Listen without judgment. Set clear expectations. Know who your kids are with and where they are. Most importantly, remind them that they can come to you when they need help.

Together, we can create a community where our youth feel supported, connected, and empowered to make healthy choices.
