À propos
Faits rapides: You can hear live music almost any night, with over 200 performances scheduled each year and a mix of local bands and touring acts. A stroll through the weekend markets reveals a maze of scents, with smoky barbecue, citrus from craft sodas, and warm pastries fresh from wood-fired ovens.
Points forts: Step into the main plaza after sunset and the place becomes a patchwork of amber light, live guitar, and the smell of wood-fired pizza from more than 20 nearby eateries. A quirky local ritual has performers lining up for the weekly free concert series, where crowds can swell past 3,000 and a single encore can turn into an impromptu dance circle beneath strings of café lights.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable shoes, the square has uneven brick and cobblestone underfoot.
- For photos, shoot the fountain and the Market Square sign at golden hour for warm light and fewer shadows.
- Avoid peak dinner hours on Friday and Saturday if you dislike crowds; aim for midafternoon or after 9 pm to find shorter lines.
- On Saturdays arrive early for the farmers market to snag the best produce and to find easier parking nearby.
