Manteca’s original farmers market is returning to Library Park on Tuesday.

Seven farmers, eight food booths plus 20 other vendors are part of the weekly summer gathering among the stately sycamore trees of the downtown park.

The market runs every Tuesday from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. until the end of summer.

Expansion work at Library Park last summer prompted a temporary relocation to Orchard Valley.

The Manteca Visitors Center has lined up additional farmers for upcoming markets.

Food vendors this week include pizza, cheese steak, BBQ, Le Croissant, hummus, Las Tapatias, Shaved Ice, and kettle corn among others.

The 20 vendors include face painting, Kid Zone, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, crafters, Mary Kay, non-profit groups, jewelry, purses, Sentsy, and others.

G.K. Music will provide entertainment each night for the month of June.
