The Farmers Market is an area of food stalls, sit-down eateries, prepared food vendors, and produce markets in Los Angeles. The Market first opened in July 1934 and it is also a historic Los Angeles landmark and tourist attraction. The Farmers Market features more than 100 vendors, including ready-to-eat foods, grocers, and tourist shops, and is located just south of CBS Television City. Unlike most Farmers' Markets, which are held only at intervals, the Farmers' Market of Los Angeles is a permanent installation and is open seven days a week. The vendors serve many kinds of food, both American cuisines from local farmers and local ethnic foods from the many immigrant communities of Los Angeles, with many Latin American and Asian cuisines well represented. It is located at the corner of 3rd Street and Fairfax Avenue in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles. It is adjacent to The Grove outdoor shopping mall; an electric-powered street car runs between the two sites. The Market is a destination for foodies in search of the Market's ethnic cuisines, its specialty food markets, and its prepared-food stalls. A sign that reads "Meet Me at the Third and Fairfax" is displayed at the front of the Farmers Market. 16 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | NOVEMBER 2016 | Pechanga Thurs., Jan. 26, 9:30 am - 5:45 pm, $5 pp w/ $5 free play Spend a five hour stay at Pechanga resort and Casino.
